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 

Photos 

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
