Twas a dark
day in Dallas, November '63
A day that
will live on in infamy
President Kennedy was
a-ridin’ high
Good day to
be livin' and a good day to die
Being led
to the slaughter like a sacrificial lamb
He said,
"Wait a minute, boys, you know who I am?"
"Of
course we do. We know who you are."
Then they
blew off his head while he was still in the car
Shot down
like a dog in broad daylight
Was a
matter of timing and the timing was right
You got
unpaid debts; we've come to collect
We're gonna
kill you with hatred; without any respect
We'll mock
you and shock you and we'll put it in your face
We've
already got someone here to take your place
The day
they blew out the brains of the king
Thousands
were watching; no one saw a thing
It happened
so quickly, so quick, by surprise
Right there
in front of everyone's eyes
Greatest
magic trick ever under the sun
Perfectly
executed, skillfully done
Wolfman, oh
wolfman, oh wolfman howl
Rub-a-dub-dub,
it's a murder most foul
Hush,
little children. You'll understand
The Beatles
are comin'; they're gonna hold your hand
Slide down
the banister, go get your coat
Ferry
'cross the Mersey and go for the throat
There's
three bums comin' all dressed in rags
Pick up the
pieces and lower the flags
I'm going
to Woodstock; it's the Aquarian Age
Then I'll
go to Altamont and sit near the stage
Put your
head out the window; let the good times roll
There's a
party going on behind the Grassy Knoll
Stack up
the bricks, pour the cement
Don't say
Dallas don't love you, Mr. President
Put your
foot in the tank and step on the gas
Try to make
it to the triple underpass
Blackface
singer, whiteface clown
Better not
show your faces after the sun goes down
Up in the
red light district, they've got cop on the beat
Living in a
nightmare on Elm Street
When you're
down in Deep Ellum, put your money in your shoe
Don't ask
what your country can do for you
Cash on the
ballot, money to burn
Dealey
Plaza, make left-hand turn
I'm going
down to the crossroads; gonna flag a ride
The place
where faith, hope, and charity died
Shoot him
while he runs, boy. Shoot him while you can
See if you
can shoot the invisible man
Goodbye,
Charlie. Goodbye, Uncle Sam
Frankly,
Miss Scarlett, I don't give a damn
What is the
truth, and where did it go?
Ask Oswald
and Ruby; they oughta know
"Shut
your mouth," said the wise old owl
Business is
business, and it's a murder most foul
Tommy, can
you hear me? I'm the Acid Queen
I'm riding
in a long, black limousine
Riding in
the backseat next to my wife
Heading
straight on in to the afterlife
I'm leaning
to the left; got my head in her lap
Hold on,
I've been led into some kind of a trap
Where we
ask no quarter, and no quarter do we give
We're right
down the street from the street where you live
They
mutilated his body, and they took out his brain
What more
could they do? They piled on the pain
But his
soul's not there where it was supposed to be at
For the
last fifty years they've been searchin' for that
Freedom, oh
freedom. Freedom cover me
I hate to
tell you, mister, but only dead men are free
Send me
some lovin'; tell me no lies
Throw the
gun in the gutter and walk on by
Wake up,
little Susie; let's go for a drive
Cross the
Trinity River; let's keep hope alive
Turn the
radio on; don't touch the dials
Parkland
hospital, only six more miles
You got me
dizzy, Miss Lizzy. You filled me with lead
That magic
bullet of yours has gone to my head
I'm just a
patsy like Patsy Cline
Never shot
anyone from in front or behind
I've blood
in my eye, got blood in my ear
I'm never
gonna make it to the new frontier
Zapruder's
film I seen night before
Seen it 33
times, maybe more
It's vile
and deceitful. It's cruel and it's mean
Ugliest
thing that you ever have seen
They killed
him once and they killed him twice
Killed him
like a human sacrifice
The day
that they killed him, someone said to me, "Son
The age of
the Antichrist has only begun."
Air Force
One coming in through the gate
Johnson
sworn in at 2:38
Let me know
when you decide to thrown in the towel
It is what
it is, and it's murder most foul
What's new,
pussycat? What'd I say?
I said the
soul of a nation been torn away
And it's
beginning to go into a slow decay
And that
it's 36 hours past Judgment Day
