Ma cried like a lady
Pa cried like a man
1963 – one less kennedy
And i was too young to understand
And the years flew by in colours
Each one a little faster than before
And as the war caused some to cry
I’d identify
My tv keeping score
Growing up – in the shadow of the u.s.a.
Trying to find – the meaning of life today
America – it’s a heavy kind of role you
Play
You’re the hero – you’re the villain
Your every move is on display
Ma cried like a lady
Pa cried like a man
1963 – one less kennedy
And i was too young to understand
We were all too young to understand
