Tom Clay (US DJ) What The World Needs Now.... Lyrics

What is segregation?
-I don't know what seggeration is.
-What is bigotry?
-I don't know what biggery is.
-What does... hatred mean?
-I don't know what that is..
-What is prejudice?
-Hmm.. I think it's when someone's sick.

[whistle] -Rise and shine, boys!
-One, two, three, four! One, two, three, four!
...(machine gun fire)...
...

Anybody here, seen my old friend John, can you tell me where he's gone?

-We're at the Trademark, the motorcade is coming by here, I can see many many motorcycles coming by now, police motorcycles. Just heard a call on the radio for all units along Industrial, to pick up the motorcade.
Something's happened here, we understand there has been a shooting. The presidential car coming up now, we know it's the presidential car. We can see mrs Kennedy's pink suit, there's a Secret Service man spread eagle over the top of the car. We understand governor and mrs Connolly are in the car, with president and mrs Kennedy.
We can't see who has been hit if anybody's been hit, but apparently something is wrong here, something is terribly wrong. I am behind the motorcade now, (and as you probably notice?) they're going to Parkland Hospital...

-We interrupt this program to bring you a special bulletin: Dallas Texas, the flash, apparently official: President John F. Kennedy died, at 1 p.m., central standard time.

Anybody here, seen my old friend Martin, can you tell me where he's gone?
He has freed a lot of people, but it seems the good they die young.

-We've got some difficult days ahead. But it doesn't really matter with me now. Because I've been to the mountain top. And I don't mind. Like anybody, I would like to live...

No-one can be certain who next will suffer, from some senseless act of bloodshed.

Anybody here, seen my old friend Bobby, can you tell me where he's gone?

.....to send you a message, I've been here too long already. So my thanks to all of you, and now let's go on to Chicago, and let's win there... [cheers]

-Senator Kennedy has been.., senator Kennedy has been shot, is that possible?
-Oh my God, senator Kennedy has been shot. ....hold of a man, who apparently.. just fires a shot.
Get that gun, get that gun, get that gun, stay away from the gun! His hand is frozen, get a hold of his palm, and break it if you have to, get it... Get the gun... hold him, hold him, we don't want another Oswald...

-Like it or not, we live in times of danger and uncertainty. That is the way he lived, that is what he leaves us. My brother need not be idealized, or enlarged in death beyond what he was in life. Be remembered simply as a good and decent man, who saw wrong and tried to right it, saw suffering and tried to heal it, saw war and tried to stop it.
-Those of us who loved him, and who take him to his rest today, pray that what he was, to us, what he wished for others, will some day come to pass for all the world. As he said many times, in many parts of this nation, those he touched, and who sought to touch him; '-Some men see things as they are, and say Why; I dream things that never were, and say Why Not?'...

What the world needs now, is love sweet love, no not just for some, but for eve-ry..-one...
