The marshalls wave their wheel appeal
Only some of them are breathing
Only some know what to feel
The generals grit their teeth and smile
Just for a little while
Until they think they can't be seen
Then pour contempt through eyes that seem like magnets
Small and hard
Magnets
They rolled away down through the arches
The wet streets shined confetti-lined
The sun burns everything it touches
The motorcade dissolves the mind
The madman grits his teeth and smiles
Just for a little while
As though he knows he can't be seen
Then pours contempt through eyes that seem like magnets
Small and hard
Just like magnets
Out of the crowd
Just like magnets
Kennedy's children all magnets
Waste of time at the Alamo
All the kids singing "Go Johnny, go Johnny, go!"
All the cars parked out of view
And someone on a roof with a job to do
But the hotdogs sell and the cameras roll
It's a star situation, but it's out of control
There's a man with a message and it's written on lead
There's a man who is god, but god is dead
Still we grit out teeth and smile
Just for a little while
As though we think we can be seen
We pour contempt through eyes that seem like magnets
Small and hard
Just like magnets
Out of a crowd
Just like magnets
Kennedy's children all magnets
Magnets staring up
Just like magnets
Burning the sky
Just like magnets
Kennedy's children all magnets
Magnetized boys, boys, boys
The motorcade is never-ending The marshalls wave their wheel appeal Only some of them are breathing Only some know what to feel The generals grit their teeth and smile Just for a little while Until they think they can't be seen Then pour contempt through eyes that seem like magnets Small and hard Magnets They rolled away down through the arches The wet streets shined confetti-lined The sun burns everything it touches The motorcade dissolves the mind The madman grits his teeth and smiles Just for a little while As though he knows he can't be seen Then pours contempt through eyes that seem like magnets Small and hard Just like magnets Out of the crowd Just like magnets Kennedy's children all magnets Waste of time at the Alamo All the kids singing "Go Johnny, go Johnny, go!" All the cars parked out of view And someone on a roof with a job to do But the hotdogs sell and the cameras roll It's a star situation, but it's out of control There's a man with a message and it's written on lead There's a man who is god, but god is dead Still we grit out teeth and smile Just for a little while As though we think we can be seen We pour contempt through eyes that seem like magnets Small and hard Just like magnets Out of a crowd Just like magnets Kennedy's children all magnets Magnets staring up Just like magnets Burning the sky Just like magnets Kennedy's children all magnets Magnetized boys, boys, boys Explain Request ×
