Hadda Been 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
