Assassins (The 2022 Off-Broadway Cast Recording)
November 22, 1963
People will hate me
They'll hate you with a passion
Imagine
People having passionate feelings about Lee Harvey Oswald
It's in your grasp, Lee
All you have to do is move your little finger
You can close the New York Stock Exchange
Shut down the schools in Indonesia
In Florence, Italy a woman will leap from the Duomo
Clutching a picture of your victim
And cursing your name
Your wife will weep
His wife will weep
The world will weep
Grief
Grief beyond imagining
Despair
The death of innocence and hope
The bitter burdens which you bear
The bitter truths you carry in your heart
You can share them with the world
You have the power of Pandora's Box, Lee
Open it
I envy you
We're your family
I admire you (I respect you)
Make us proud of you (I envy you)
We're your family (I admire you)
We're depending on you (you are the future)
We're your family (we respect you)
Make them listen to us (I envy you)
We've been waiting for you (we admire-)
We respect you (make them listen to us)
We're your family (you are the future)
Make us proud of you (proud)
All you have to do (you are-)
Is squeeze your little finger (the future)
Squeeze your little finger (we are-)
You can change the world (your family!)
They'll hate you with a passion
