Ben Kelly - The Kennedys (Walled City Sessions Podcast 2/3)

The second of three new original songs I performed exclusively for the Walled City Sessions podcast on iTunes - download the entire podcast (Episode 1) to hear a 30 minute interview also!

*The Kennedys*
Word and music by Ben Kelly. (All rights reserved)

Band of brothers running the big patriarchal society,
Always loving loving anybody that you want when you see.
Working for the father and the fatherland simultaneously,
Global statesman, present the brand, living immaculately.

Deep in my heart I am committed to the green,
But I'm hell bent on the American, American Dream.

I wanna be one of the Kennedys,
Savour the great, and bear the tragedies,
Joe, Jack, Bobby and Ted,
I swear the dream will never ever be dead,
Cos you and me could all be Kennedys.

Born with a hunger to be ruthless with a charming edge,
Made it all the way to be the Emerald kings of the modern age.
Everything is handed down for you upon a silver plate,
Including a deluding sense of grandeur and a hubristic fate.
