COLUMBIA PERSONIFIED by Robustom Lyrics
*sirens blaring*
There are people in the world who are so sick, or so angry, that they sometimes hurt other people. And they're usually the ones who end up in the news.
Remember hearing about John Lennon being shot in New York? And President Reagan and his friends in Washington? And the Pope in Rome? And the young people being murdered in Atlanta, and other placеs?
Well, the peoplе who are doing these terrible things are making a lot of other people sad and angry.

"...can't hear, can you hear o-on th-the..."
There's something I wanna ask you... what does assassination mean?
"What happened, do you know? Somebody said he's been shot. Let's roll some videotape on this out here, friends..."
H-have you heard that word a lot today?
Yes... and I didn't know what it meant.
Well... it means... somebody getting killed. In a... a sort of surprise way.
That's what happened you know! That man killed that other man!
Bobby quietly took his place among the younger children- the girls.
(A lot of people are... sad and scared about it, you know.)
I'd rather talk about it some other day.
He was small, awkward, shy, his father described him as the family "runt."
He would set out to prove he was as tough as his brothers.
