lyrics
if Zapruder wasn’t an honest man, I bet he never would’ve wished / wished he’d gone and shot frame 313 / they gunned down Kennedy, from the sixth story window / Lee Harvey fired the shots, allegedly / and Johnson didn’t know a thing, so they singed him up to run our country and to make more money / from the grassy knoll, to the radio, to Ruby’s .38 snub nose / now I know they’re up to something / too many bullet holes, to Castro’s role, those bastards did it to gain control / now I know they’re up to something / but every time I question the man, you know he just tells me / go get a job, and get in line / believe in your country / but I ain’t asleep, I’m tired of this shit / it ain’t just another conspiracy / so on that day I’ll be an honest man, and I’ll burn down the city / so on that day I’ll grow some thicker skin / don’t worry boys, Richard ain’t an amateur / he’s written up a doctrine to justify a war / Mai Lai wasn’t mass murder, my lie hasn’t finished yet / you know it’s 30 days past new-years but we’ll still celebrate Tet / and now where’s Bobby? / they also shot him dead / it’s party time let’s break into the DNC instead / wiretap their phones, photocopy all their books / I ain’t got an excuse, but hey it ain’t like I’m a crook / from the marine corps, Diem’s murder, no process for a shorter war / now I know they’re up to something / from Watergate, to Robert’s fate, have David Frost interrogate / now I know they’re up to something / and every time I question the man, you know he just tells me / go get a job, and get in line / believe in your country / but I ain’t asleep, I’m tired of this shit / it ain’t just another conspiracy / so on that day I’ll be an honest man, and I’ll burn down the cities / so on that day I’ll grow some thicker skin / and all the king’s horses, and all the king’s men couldn’t put it back together again
