[Verse 2]
Hush, little children, youll understand
The Beatles are comin, theyre gonna hold your hand
Slide down the banister, go get your coat
Ferry cross the Mersey and go for the throat
Theres three bums comin all dressed in rags
Pick up the pieces and lower the flags
Im goin to Woodstock, its the Aquarian Age
Then Ill go to Altamont and sit near the stage
Put your head out the window, let the good times roll
Theres a party going on behind the Grassy Knoll
Stack up the bricks, pour the cement
Dont say Dallas dont love you, Mr. President
Put your foot in the tank and then step on the gas
Try to make it to the triple underpass
Blackface singer, whiteface clown
Better not show your faces after the sun goes down
Up in the red light district, theyve got cop on the beat
Living in a nightmare on Elm Street
When youre down on Deep Ellum, put your money in your shoe
Dont ask what your country can do for you
Cash on the ballot, money to burn
Dealey Plaza, make a left-hand turn
Im going down to the crossroads, gonna flag a ride
The place where faith, hope, and charity lie
Shoot him while he runs, boy, shoot him while you can
See if you can shoot the invisible man
Goodbye, Charlie! Goodbye, Uncle Sam!
Frankly, Miss Scarlett, I dont give a damn
What is the truth, and where did it go?
Ask Oswald and Ruby, they oughta know
Shut your mouth, said a wise old owl
Business is business, and its a murder most foul
[Verse 3]
Tommy, can you hear me? Im the Acid Queen
Im riding in a long, black Lincoln limousine
Ridin in the backseat next to my wife
Headed straight on in to the afterlife
Im leaning to the left, I got my head in her lap
Hold on, Ive been led into some kind of a trap
Where we ask no quarter, and no quarter do we give
Were right down the street, from the street where you live
They mutilated his body and they took out his brain
What more could they do? They piled on the pain
But his soul was not there where it was supposed to be at
For the last fifty years theyve been searchin for that
Freedom, oh freedom, freedom over me
I hate to tell you, mister, but only dead men are free
Send me some lovin, then tell me no lie
Throw the gun in the gutter and walk on by
Wake up, little Susie, lets go for a drive
Cross the Trinity River, lets keep hope alive
Turn the radio on, dont touch the dials
Parkland hospital, only six more miles
You got me dizzy, Miss Lizzy, you filled me with lead
That magic bullet of yours has gone to my head
Im just a patsy like Patsy Cline
Never shot anyone from in front or behind
Ive blood in my eye, got blood in my ear
Im never gonna make it to the new frontier
Zapruders film I seen night before
Seen it thirty-three times, maybe more
Its vile and deceitful, its cruel and its mean
Ugliest thing that you ever have seen
They killed him once and they killed him twice
Killed him like a human sacrifice
The day that they killed him, someone said to me, Son
The age of the Antichrist has just only begun
Air Force One comin in through the gate
Johnson sworn in at 2:38
Let me know when you decide to thrown in the towel
It is what it is, and its murder most foul
[Verse 4]
Whats new, pussycat? Whatd I say?
I said the soul of a nation been torn away
And its beginning to go into a slow decay
And that its thirty-six hours past Judgment Day
Wolfman Jack, hes speaking in tongues
Hes going on and on at the top of his lungs
Play me a song, Mr. Wolfman Jack
Play it for me in my long Cadillac
Play me that Only the Good Die Young
Take me to the place Tom Dooley was hung
Play St. James Infirmary and the Court of King James
If you want to remember, you better write down the names
Play Etta James, too, play Id Rather Go Blind
Play it for the man with the telepathic mind
Play John Lee Hooker, play Scratch My Back.
Play it for that strip club owner named Jack
Guitar Slim going down slow
Play it for me and for Marilyn Monroe
[Verse 5]
Play Please Dont Let Me Be Misunderstood
Play it for the First Lady, she aint feeling any good
Play Don Henley, play Glenn Frey
Take it to the limit and let it go by
Play it for Carl Wilson, too
Looking far, far away down Gower Avenue
Play tragedy, play Twilight Time
Take me back to Tulsa to the scene of the crime
Play another one and Another One Bites the Dust
Play The Old Rugged Cross and In God We Trust
Ride the pink horse down that long, lonesome road
Stand there and wait for his head to explode
Play Mystery Train for Mr. Mystery
The man who fell down dead like a rootless tree
Play it for the Reverend, play it for the Pastor
Play it for the dog that got no master
Play Oscar Peterson, play Stan Getz
Play Blue Sky, play Dickey Betts
Play Art Pepper, Thelonious Monk
Charlie Parker and all that junk
All that junk and All That Jazz
Play something for the Birdman of Alcatraz
Play Buster Keaton, play Harold Lloyd
Play Bugsy Siegel, play Pretty Boy Floyd
Play the numbers, play the odds
Play Cry Me A River for the Lord of the gods
Play Number nine, play Number six
Play it for Lindsey and Stevie Nicks
Play Nat King Cole, play Nature Boy
Play Down In The Boondocks for Terry Malloy
Play It Happened One Night and One Night of Sin
Theres twelve million souls that are listening in
Play Merchant of Venice, play Merchants of Death
Play Stella by Starlight for Lady Macbeth
Dont worry, Mr. President, helps on the way
Your brothers are comin, therell be hell to pay
Brothers? What brothers? Whats this about hell?
Tell them, Were waiting, keep coming, well get them as well
Love Field is where his plane touched down
But it never did get back up off the ground
Was a hard act to follow, second to none
They killed him on the altar of the rising sun
Play Misty for me and That Old Devil Moon
Play Anything Goes and Memphis in June
Play Lonely At the Top and Lonely Are the Brave
Play it for Houdini spinning around his grave
Play Jelly Roll Morton, play Lucille
Play Deep In a Dream, and play Driving Wheel
Play Moonlight Sonata in F-sharp
And A Key to the Highway for the king on the harp
Play Marching Through Georgia and Dumbartons Drums
Play darkness and death will come when it comes
Play Love Me Or Leave Me by the great Bud Powell
Play The Blood-stained Banner, play Murder Most Foul
