Rage Against The Machine - Hadda Be Playing On The Jukebox Lyrics
It had to be flashin' like the daily doubleIt had to be playin' on TVIt had to be loud mouthed on the comedy hourIt had to be announced over loud speakersThe CIA and the Mafia are in cahootsIt had to be said in old ladies' languageIt had to be said in American headlinesKennedy stretched and smiled and got double crossed by lowlife goons and agentsRich bankers with criminal connectionsDope pushers in CIA working with dope pushers from Cuba working with aBig time syndicate from Tampa, FloridaAnd it had to be said with a big mouthIt had to be moaned over factory foghornsIt had to be chattered on car radio news broadcastsIt had to be screamed in the kitchenIt had to be yelled in the basement where uncles were fightingIt had to be howled on the streets by newsboys to bus conductorsIt had to be foghorned into New York harborIt had to echo onto hard hatsIt had to turn up the volume in university ballroomsIt had to be written in library books, footnotedIt had to be in the headlines of the Times and Le MondeIt had to be barked on TVIt had to be heard in alleys through ballroom doorsIt had to be played on wire servicesIt had to be bells ringingComedians stopped dead in the middle of a joke in Las VegasIt had to be FBI chief J. Edgar Hoover and Frank Costello syndicateMouthpiece meeting in Central Park, New York weekends,Reported Time magazineIt had to be the Mafia and the CIA together starting war on Cuba,Bay of Pigs and poison assassination headlinesIt had to be dope cops in the MafiaWho sold all their heroin in AmericaIt had to be the FBI and organized crime working togetherIn cahoots against the commiesIt had to be ringing on multinational cash registersA world-wide laundry for organized criminal moneyIt had to be the CIA and the Mafia and the FBI togetherThey were bigger than NixonAnd they were bigger than warIt had to be a large room full of murderIt had to be a mounted ass- a solid mass of rageA red hot penA scream in the back of the throatIt had to be a kid that can breatheIt had to be in Rockefellers' mouthIt had to be central intelligence, the family, allofthis, the agency MafiaIt had to be organized crimeOne big set of gangs working together in cahootsHitmenMurderers everywhereThe secretThe drunkThe brutalThe dirty and richOn top of a slag heap of prisonsIndustrial cancerPlutonium smogGarbage citiesGrandmas' bed soft from fathers' resentmentIt had to be the rulersThey wanted law and orderAnd they got rich on wanting protection for the status quoThey wanted junkiesThey wanted AtticaThey wanted Kent StateThey wanted war in IndochinaYeahIt had to be the CIA and the Mafia and the FBIMultinational capitalistsStrong armed squadsPrivate detective agencies for the oh so very richAnd their armies and navies and their air force bombing planesIt had to be capitalismThe vortex of this rageThis competitionMan to manThe horses head in a capitalists' bedThe Cuban turfIt rumbles in hitmenAnd gang wars across oceansBombing Cambodia settled the score when Soviet pilotsManned Egyptian fighter planesChiles' red democracyBumped off with White House pots and pansA warning to Mediterranean governmentsThe secret police have been embraced for decadesThe NKPD and CIA keep each other's secretsThe OGBU and DIA never hit their ownThe KGB and the FBI are one mindBrute force and full of moneyBrute force, world-wide, and full of moneyBrute force, world-wide, and full of moneyBrute force, world-wide, and full of moneyBrute force, world-wide, and full of moneyIt had to be rich and it had to be powerfulThey had to murder in Indonesia 500000They had to murder in Indochina 2000000They had to murder in CzechoslovakiaThey had to murder in ChileThey had to murder in RussiaAnd they had to murder in America.Yeah!
