11 MPH Songtext
von Was (Not Was)

Hey, Kennedy!
Look out!
Oh no!

Lee Harvey O. didn′t have no daddy
He never caught a break, he never drove a caddy
Joined the marines to learn a skill
And that he did; He learned how to kill

At 11 miles an hour
Such a deadly speed
11 miles an hour
At the time and place agreed
They pulled their limousine
Down Elm Street slow and clean
Lead fell like the shower at 11 miles an hour

JFK went down to Dallas
To cool some heels in the oil palace
Unfriendly country, but he was unafraid
He would wave to the people from a passing motorcade


At 11 miles an hour
Such a deadly speed
11 miles an hour
At the time and place agreed
They pulled their limousine
Down Elm Street slow and clean
Lead fell like the shower at 11 miles an hour
Yes it did

JFK told Khrushchev "I'll leave Castro alone
If you take away those missiles, they′re too damn close to home"
The CIA, the Cubans, and the underworld bosses
Decided that was it, they had to cut their losses

At 11 miles an hour
Such a deadly speed
11 miles an hour
At the time and place agreed
They pulled their limousine
Down Elm Street slow and clean
Lead fell like the shower at 11 miles an hour

Lee Harvey O. was made to order
A radical nut, a drifter, and a boarder
Earl Warren got a version out fast
America was happy the patsy had been cast


At 11 miles an hour
Such a deadly speed
11 miles an hour
At the time and place agreed
They pulled their limousine
Down Elm Street slow and clean
Lead fell like the shower at 11 miles an hour
Yes it did

11 miles an hour
11 miles an hour
