Don't say I killed McKinley in Buffalo
It was you from the start with your hankie without a heart
And your shallow little gallows where the fallow land does cry
In a country full of hubris you thought he was the one to die..

Did it matter what Ida was bound to feel
Did you take into account that Teddy Roosevelt deal
Imperialism was shot that day or was it William men
Was the stocking foot orator simply one of them?

Who remembers you?
Who remembers him?

He cried out in pain to please not hurt you bad
His concentration camps probably made him sad
The man and his deeds – they did not always jive
We might have seen a different Bill if he had stayed alive

Who remembers you?
Who remembers him?
Turn the page again..

And did your neck snap or was it the electric chair?
As the world cried for him did anybody care?
But now nobody knows it's so dusty and so grave
A footnote to a paragraph on an obscure history page..

Who remembers you?
Who remembers him?
Turn the page again,
Turn the page..
