about

There was a chapter about the assassination of JFK in a book I was reading about John Lennon and the FBI files. I was thinking about Lee Harvey Oswald and his unfortunate fate when I wrote this song.

lyrics

He was a matter for the legal affairs.
They had him right from the start.
14 and lost behind the matters of despair.
Raised up a lonely heart.

He lost a battle he could never have won.
They had him right by the throat.
2 hours and a chase that made the Saturday Sun.
Shot dead by a devil in a police coat.

DC gasped a sigh of relief.
No more blood to be spilled.
3 years of question and disbelief.
19 witnesses killed.

How could the media be so overruled?
What with the president gone?
You’d think we’d figure what went over our heads
but still the lies go on and on.

Some think the mafia was in on it too.
So was the CIA.
No doubt the republicans hated it too.
No war and a roll in the hay.

There was a player who was headed for win.
No doubt the public approved.
Shot dead in the car he was riding in.
Blame the one with a destiny to lose.

We watch as history repeats itself.
We wait with baited breathe.
We hope for a motive that is better than wealth.
So far it hasn’t come yet.

We hope for a motive that is better than wealth.
We hope for a motive that is better than wealth.
We hope for a motive that is better than wealth.
