Assassins (Original Off-Broadway Cast Recording)
You Can Close the New York Stock Exchange / Everybody's Got the Right
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 (Make us proud of you)
We're depending on you (You are the future)
We're your family (Make them listen to us, we've been waiting for you)
Make them listen, boy (You are the future)
We're all depending on you (Make us proud)
All you have to do is squeeze your little finger
Squeeze your little finger
You can change the world!
Everybody's got the right to be happy
Don't be mad, life's not as bad as it seems
If you keep your goal in sight
You can climb to any height
Everybody's got the right to their dreams
Everybody's got the right to be different
(If you want to be different)
Even though at times, they go to extremes
(Go to extremes)
Anybody can prevail
Everybody's free to fail
No one can be put in jail for their dreams
Free country!
Means that you've got the choice
Be a scholar
Make a dollar
Free country!
Means that you get a voice
Scream and holler
Grab 'em by the collar
Free country!
Means you get to connect
That's it!
Means a right to expect that you'll have an effect
That you're gonna connect
Connect
Connect
Connect
Everybody's got the right to some sunshine
Not the sun, but maybe one of its beams (one of its beams)
Rich man, poor man, black or white
Everybody gets a bite
Everybody just hold tight to your dreams
Everybody's got the right
To their dreams
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.
