Cover of The Human League song, it samples the JFK's Inaugural Address from January 20, 1961. Sounds like Data-Bank-A, perhaps has to be one of the two releases that doesn't appear to be online, but i'm not sure

Lyrics:
_(Let us begin)_
_(Let both sides unite to heed in all corners of the earth the command of Isaiah--to "undo the heavy burdens . . . (and) let the oppressed go free.")_
_(And if a beachhead of cooperation may push back the jungle of suspicion, let both sides join in creating a new endeavor, not a new balance of power, but a new world of law, where the strong are just and the weak secure and the peace preserved.)_
*All day, hiding from the sun*
*Waiting for the golden one*
*Waiting for your fame*
*After the parade has gone*
_(All this will not be finished in the first one hundred days. Nor will it be finished in the first one thousand days, nor in the life of this Administration, nor even perhaps in our lifetime on this planet. But let us begin.)_
_(In your hands, my fellow citizens, more than mine, will rest the final success or failure of our course. Since this country was founded, each generation of Americans has been summoned to give testimony to its national loyalty. The graves of young Americans who answered the call to service surround the globe.)_
_(Now the trumpet summons us again--not as a call to bear arms)_
*Outside was a happy place*
*Every face had a smile like the golden face*
*For a second*
*Your knuckles white as your fingers curl*
_(though arms we need--not as a call to battle, though embattled we are-- but a call to bear the burden of a long twilight struggle, year in and year out, "rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation"--a struggle against the common enemies of man: tyranny, poverty, disease and war itself.)_
*The shot that was heard around the world*
*For a second*
_(Can we forge against these enemies a grand and global alliance, North and South, East and West, that can assure a more fruitful life...)_
