John F Kennedy - Martin Luther King Jr - Robert F Kennedy and Donald Duck

it was the sixties we were young we were going to change the world spin it like a basketball on our finger take the three point shot win the game we had great leaders john, robert, martin... the planet was singing with the purity of a four year old ... The ants go marching two by two; The little one stops to tie his shoe, ... then it started raining bullets our optimism soured slightly at first and the grassy knoll and the sniper and the magic bullet john was shot jackie squirmed we sat on the edge of our seats The ants go marching four by four; The little one stops to shut the door, John F. Kennedy was assassinated The ants go marching five by five; The little one stops to take a dive, years had passed, five look before you dive the civil rights movement gathered to fight for their God given rights the right to be treated as humans exactly that...humans...no more no less. to listen to the man who had said "Nonviolence is a powerful and just weapon which cuts without wounding and ennobles the man who wields it. It is a sword that heals." the man who stood on the hill speaking "I have a dream today!" The ants go marching seven by seven; The little one stops to pray to heaven, Boom, boom, boom, boom! Martin Luther King Jr. was shot died and my God it rained it rained salt as a nation black and white cried The ants go marching nine by nine; The little one stops to check the time, time for the rise of Bobby Hoorah! Hoorah! Boom, boom, boom, boom! i wish he could have ran faster than the bullets they murdered John's brother Robert F. Kennedy was dead the sixties where almost finished and i wondered if the world would ever be the same again I marched away buried my face into the ground To get out of my pain. great leaders lost words that radiated radiate hope America was the envy of the world it's two thousand sixteen and we have sunk so deep into the dirt i know we can't Trump this disaster have you ever heard of fools gold we have a choice our lives count remember the ants nature's banner is blowing in the wind don't make the little one shout "THE END!!"
