| | | Artist: | Rage Against The Machine |
| | Album: | Miscellaneous | | Track: | Had To Be Playin On The Jukebox | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 249 | | | | Lyrics: | 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 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 the mind
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
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 that 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 Rockefeller's mouth
It had
to be central intelligence, the family,
All of this, 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 father's 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 capitalist's 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
Chile's 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
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 | | | |
