You Can Close the New York Stock Exchange / Everybody’s Got the Right

Lyrics

[BOOTH, spoken] You can close the New York Stock Exchange.​ [GUITEAU, spoken] Shut down the schools in Indonesia.​ [MOORE, spoken] In Florence, Italy, a woman will leap from the Duomo clutching a picture of your victim and cursing your name— [CZOLGOSZ, spoken] Your wife will weep— [FROMME, spoken] His wife will weep— [ZANGARA, spoken] The world will weep— [GUITEAU, spoken] Grief. Grief beyond imagining— [HINCKLEY, spoken] Despair— [MOORE, spoken] The death of innocence and hope— [CZOLGOSZ, spoken] The bitter burdens which you bear— [BYCK, spoken] The bitter truths you carry in your heart— [GUITEAU, spoken] You can share them with the world.​ [BOOTH, spoken] You have the power of Pandora's Box, Lee. Open it... (sung, overlapping) [GUITEAU] I envy you... [MOORE] We're your family... [HINCKLEY] I admire you... [CZOLGOSZ] I respect you... [MOORE] Make us proud of you... [BOOTH] I envy you... [GUITEAU] We're your family... [HINCKLEY] I admire you... [FROMME & MOORE] We're depending on you... [ZANGARA] You are the future... [GUITEAU & MOORE] We're your family... [CZOLGOSZ] We envy you... [BYCK & GUITEAU] Make them listen to us, we've been waiting for you... [BYCK & ZANGARA] Make them listen, boy... [ALL] We admire you... We're your family... You are the future... We're depending on you... Make us proud... All you have to do is squeeze your little finger Squeeze your little finger... You can change the wor— [OSWALD fires.] [BOOTH] Everybody's got the right To be happy Don't be mad Life's not as bad as it seems [CZOLGOSZ] If you keep your goal in sight You can climb to any height [BOOTH & CZOLGOSZ] Everybody's got the right To their dreams [MOORE] Everybody's got the right To be different— [BOOTH & CZOLGOSZ] If you want to be different... [GUITEAU] Even though At times they go To extremes... [BOOTH, CZOLGOSZ & MOORE] Go to extremes... [ZANGARA] Anybody can prevail [BYCK] Everybody's free to fail [MALE ASSASSINS] No one can be put in jail For their dreams [ALL] Free country—! [HINCKLEY] Means that you've got the choice [GUITEAU] Be a scholar! [BYCK] Make a dollar! [ALL] Free country—! [CZOLGOSZ] Means that you get a voice [ZANGARA] Scream and holler! [FROMME] Grab 'em by the collar! [ALL] Free country—! [OSWALD] Means you get to connect! [MOORE & FROMME] That's it! [ALL] Means the 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... [They fire their guns into the air—BLAM!]
