JFK (SO IT GOES)

You turn around
There’s a shadow on the ground
And here I stand
It all gets turned around again
Your cold white face
Shows your eyes don’t say the things they said before
I’m not insane
But I’m something, and I feel it more and more

The things you do
Hurt me, but I do them, too
You know, they should
Really lock us up for good
So we can’t stay
Here and hurt the people that we love the most
Lock us away
Oh, they’re coming for us. God, they’re getting close
And in our padded cell, we’d twist and turn and shake
But then the nightmare came and shook us all awake
So it goes

I’m sorry that I shot Kennedy
But aren’t we all just a little bit crazy?
And on the news they say
That another killer got turned loose today

They called my dad
Told him that I’m going mad
All the saints and priests
Tried to get me on my feet
But I can’t stand
I can finally see the way I’ve always been
It’s not that bad
For the first time in life, I’m breathing in
And in our padded cell, we’d twist and turn and shake
But then the nightmare came and shook us all awake
At night I scream out loud
“Is it possible that this is some mistake?”
So it goes

I’m sorry that I shot Kennedy
But aren’t we all just a little bit crazy?
And on the news they say
That another killer got turned loose today
I’m sorry that I shot Kennedy
But aren’t we all just a little bit crazy
An American tragedy
But don’t tell me that you wouldn’t do the same thing
