Elvis sang Willie Nelson On the day that he died "Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain" With the pain inside He took his pills and he went to bed Heart attack's what the paper said But what I'd give just one more time to hear him sing But the King is dead (ooh-ooh) He's long gone (ooh-ooh) Long live the King (ooh) ♪ MLK was a Christian He loved Ghandi, he loved girls Grew up in segregation But he saw another world He marched and sang and stood for the poor He was for the fight, but against the war But they murdered him like Christ 'cause he had a dream But the King is dead (the King is dead) He's long gone (long gone) Long live the King They gunned down John Lennon On a cold winter night (ooh-ooh) Outside of the Dakota In the middle of his prime They put him down for speaking the truth He was a feminist and an asshole, too But in the end, he risked it all for love and peace, yeah King is dead (the King is dead) He's long gone (long gone) Long live the King Long live the King
