You Could Have Been a Roosevelt şarkı sözleri

Out into the world With all the confidence and grace that luck instills Each and every girl With dresses pressed and faces fresh as daffodils This could be us but those were not the cards that we were dealt You're doomed to be a Kennedy When you could have been a Roosevelt Out into the world You're sailing into life upon a glassy sea Flags and sails unfurled What must it be to be so young and whole and free This could be us but we're the grave at which our fathers knelt You're doomed to be a Kennedy When you could have been a Roosevelt And we're glad We can see in them versions of the life that we almost had Out into the world Where certain things will always be beyond our scope Just to be a girl With Jean Nate and Pink Camay and Yardley Soap This could be us but there was just a trust we never felt It's hard to be a Kennedy When you could have been a Roosevelt It's hard to be a Kennedy When you could have been a Roosevelt
