They should have shut down all the streets
G Em
Presidents and kings should have been there
F
With not a single empty seat
Em A F#m Bm
All the schools closed, and the roads we drove down all lined
G A F#m Bm
Lined with people cap in hand and crying

They should have shut down all the streets

All the papers plastered with tributes

We should have asked for privacy
Em A F#m Bm
Though we understand it that some want to share their pain

We would ask to grieve this in our quiet way

And they should have asked again and again and again

Because the teacher had to give in some small way

And there weren't that many ways left for her to say it
