Текст песни Bishop Allen — Abe Lincoln
Abe Lincoln, God bless him
Did his best to end depression
Good thinker, smart talker
Very tall man, very fast walker
Oh, lord, what a shame
Got shot down by three white name
Abe Lincoln, where are you now?
RFK, God bless him
Did his best to end depression
Oh yeah, his brother too
Their hearts was big, though their blood was blue
Oh, lord, what a shame
Sirhan Sirhan had such good aim
Got shot down by three white name
Kennedy boys, where are you now?
In heaven
In heaven

You're in heaven now
In heaven

They're in heaven now

Malcolm X, God bless him
Mahatma Gandhi, God bless him

Oh lord, what a shame
They got gunned down at the height of their fame
We need you, boy, where are you now?
Ronald Reagan, why oh why?
How do you manage to slide on by?
Did his best to end depression
Good thinker, smart talker
Very tall man, very fast walker
Oh, lord, what a shame
Got shot down by three white name
Abe Lincoln, where are you now?
RFK, God bless him
Did his best to end depression
Oh yeah, his brother too
Their hearts was big, though their blood was blue
Oh, lord, what a shame
Sirhan Sirhan had such good aim
Got shot down by three white name
Kennedy boys, where are you now?
In heaven

You're in heaven now
