Hadda Be Playing On The Jukebox

It had to be flashin' like the daily double

It had to be playin' on TV

It had to be loud mouthed on the comedy hour

It had to be announced over loud speakers


The CIA and the Mafia are in cahoots


It had to be said in old ladies' language

It had to be said in American headlines

Kennedy stretched and smiled and got double crossed by lowlife goons and agents

Rich bankers with criminal connections

Dope pushers in CIA working with dope pushers from Cuba working with a

big time syndicate from Tampa, Florida

And it had to be said with a big mouth


It had to be moaned over factory foghorns

It had to be chattered on car radio news broadcasts

It had to be screamed in the kitchen

It had to be yelled in the basement where uncles were fighting


It had to be howled on the streets by newsboys to bus conductors

It had to be foghorned into New York harbor

It had to echo onto hard hats

It had to turn up the volume in university ballrooms


It had to be written in library books, footnoted

It had to be in the headlines of the Times and Le Monde

It had to be barked on TV

It had to be heard in alleys through ballroom doors


It had to be played on wire services

It had to be bells ringing

Comedians stopped dead in the middle of a joke in Las Vegas


It had to be FBI chief J. Edgar Hoover and Frank Costello syndicate

mouthpiece meeting in Central Park, New York weekends,

reported Time magazine


It had to be the Mafia and the CIA together starting war on Cuba,

Bay of Pigs and poison assassination headlines


It had to be dope cops in the Mafia

Who sold all their heroin in America


It had to be the FBI and organized crime working together

in cahoots against the commies


It had to be ringing on multinational cash registers

A world-wide laundry for organized criminal money


It had to be the CIA and the Mafia and the FBI together

They were bigger than Nixon

And they were bigger than war


It had to be a large room full of murder

It had to be a mounted ass- a solid mass of rage

A red hot pen

A scream in the back of the throat


It had to be a kid that can breathe

It had to be in Rockefellers' mouth

It had to be central intelligence, the family, allofthis, the agency Mafia

It had to be organized crime


One big set of gangs working together in cahoots


Hitmen

Murderers everywhere


The secret

The drunk

The brutal

The dirty rich


On top of a slag heap of prisons

Industrial cancer

Plutonium smog

Garbage cities


Grandmas' bed soft from fathers' resentment


It had to be the rulers

They wanted law and order

And they got rich on wanting protection for the status quo


They wanted junkies

They wanted Attica

They wanted Kent State

They wanted war in Indochina


It had to be the CIA and the Mafia and the FBI


Multinational capitalists

Strong armed squads

Private detective agencies for the rich

And their armies and navies and their air force bombing planes


It had to be capitalism

The vortex of this rage

This competition

Man to man


The horses head in a capitalists' bed

The Cuban turf

It rumbles in hitmen

And gang wars across oceans


Bombing Cambodia settled the score when Soviet pilots

manned Egyptian fighter planes


Chiles' red democracy

Bumped off with White House pots and pans


A warning to Mediterranean governments


The secret police have been embraced for decades


The NKPD and CIA keep each other's secrets

The OGBU and DIA never hit their own

The KGB and the FBI are one mind


Brute force and full of money

Brute force, world-wide, and full of money

Brute force, world-wide, and full of money

Brute force, world-wide, and full of money

Brute force, world-wide, and full of money


It had to be rich and it had to be powerful

They had to murder in Indonesia 500000

They had to murder in Indochina 2000000

They had to murder in Czechoslovakia

They had to murder in Chile

They had to murder in Russia


And they had to murder in America
