(Glad I’m) Not a Kennedy versuri

Versuri Shona Laing – (Glad I'm) Not a Kennedy lyrics

Living on through politics
Body-guarded, heart in bits
A blue-eyed honesty
Indigo injury
The family tree is felled
Bereavement worn so well
Giving up on certainty
Wilderness society

Wearing the fame like a loaded gun
Tied up with a rosary
Ooh, I’m glad I’m not a Kennedy

Imagine being a Kennedy
Rule without remedy
To watch your family die
The world loves a sacrifice
Prophets longing for the three
Honoring the tragedy
They hunger for the crime
The privilege to take a life

Wearing the fame like a loaded gun
Tied up with a rosary
Ooh, I’m glad I’m not a Kennedy
Glad I’m not a Kennedy

And is not peace basically a matter of human rights?
The right to live out our lives without fear of devastation?
The right to breathe air as nature provided it?
The right of future generations to a healthy existence?
Let us, if we can, step back from the shadows of war
And seek out the way of peace…

I love the look in your eye
I can see your soul sometimes
And we laugh
When we try too hard, we stop and start
Oh, imagine being a Kennedy
I’m glad I’m not a Kennedy

Wearing the fame like a loaded gun
Tied up with a rosary
I’m glad I’m not a Kennedy
Imagine being a Kennedy
Ooh, I’m glad I’m not a Kennedy

The cost of freedom is always high,
Yet one path we shall never choose:
That is the path of surrender or submission.
When a man’s way pleases the Lord,
The Scriptures tell us, „He maketh even his enemies
To be at peace with him.”
We will not prematurely or unnecessarily
Risk the course of worldwide nuclear war,
In which even the fruits of victory
Would be ashes in our mouths…
