I knew I lost her when I lost my face You know all good boys are duty bound And with our small town ways we never questioned why when a man spoke up they'd take him out I remember the Kennedys Their youth and their wealth I remember them well I remember the Kennedys Every once in a while I look at the sad old faces and I smile wryly upon this land And then the riots came and our daddy died and so did Bobby Kennedy And soon my call up came. High school never paid. I'm watching it happening over and over again and again I remember the Kennedys Their youth and their wealth I remember them well I remember the Kennedys Every once in a while I look at the sad old faces and I smile... Oh look what they've done to our country Look what they've done dear boy of mine

There are flowers in the fields of Galilee Flowers in the fields of Galilee Oh how could we get so low down? How could we get so low down? There are 20.000 people fleeing border towns 20.000 homes ablaze beyond the border towns And we gave them the handshake, we gave them the arms Now we're all undone 26 souls were put to rest in Newtown 26 souls and their untold stories down in Newtown Together forever in a nursery rhyme They all fall down They lobby in their big estates and City Halls Flags flying high on big estates and City Halls We see the wrong and we try to right We suffer and we try to heal There are flowers in the fields of Galilee Flowers in the fields of Galilee Oh how could we get so low down?
