Ronald Reagan 6/5/04

Well former President Ronald Reagan has passed away at the age of 93 of Alzheimer's. Looking back on Reagan it seemed like he was Pres for my entire childhood and looking back with a closer eye you could see the Alzheimer's even towards the end of his terms. I can remeber the microphones catching Nancy giving him hints as to what the next line in one of his speeches was while he was at the ranch in California. Well Ronald in special never before presentation I give you not one, oh no, not even two, but (imagine the Count from Seasame Street saying this next part) three three three CITW remix versions.


Goodbye Ronnie Reagan
Thought Bonzo knew you well
Actor then Governor of California
History would tell
You crawled out of Tinsel Town
To be President of this land
Then you got old
Couldn't remember speechs towards the end

And it seemed to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never knowing when to say
Tear down this wall to Gorby again
And it seemed like I knew you
President when I was just a kid
Your candle burned out long before
You wife's "Just Say No" program ever did


Goodbye Ronald Reagan
The country new you well
You defeated peanut famer Carter
The released hostages would tell
You crawled out of nowhere
With Jelly Bellies in your hand
After you took a shot
Someone trying to impress Jodie Foster again

And it seemed to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never knowing when to say
When Nancy stepped in again
And I would have liked to have know you
But I was just a kid
Your candle burned out long before
Your aloof nature ever did



Goodbye Ronald Reagan
Hollywood did know you well
Had a wife woud seemed controlling
As history would tell
You crawled out of nowhere
With a party in your hand
Became a 80's icon
Then it went bad from there again

And it seemed to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never knowing when stop inflation
Costing Americans jobs once again
And it seemed like i did know you
When I was just a kid
Communism seemed to burn out long
Before your Star Wars program ever did
