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 and 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
yeah
It had to be the CIA and the Mafia and the FBI
Multinational capitalists
Strong armed squads
Private
detective agencies for the oh so very 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.
Yeah!
