Hadda Be Playing On The Jukebox (Live) - Rage Against The Machine

It had to be flashin' like the daily double

Had to be playing on TV

Had to be loud mouthed on the comedy hour

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

D**e pushers in CIA working with

D**e pushers from Cuba working with a

Big time syndicate from Tampa Florida

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 fog horned into New York harbor

Had to echo onto hard hats

Had to turn up the volume in university ballrooms

Had to be written in library books footnoted

Had to be in the headlines of the times and Le Monde

It had to be barked over TV

Had to be heard in alleys through ballroom doors

It had to be played on wire services

Had to be bells ringing

Comedians stopped dead in the middle of a joke in Las Vegas

Had to be FBI chief J Edgar Hoover and Frank Costello syndicate

Mouthpiece meeting in Central Park New York together weekends

Reported time magazine

Had to be the Mafia and the CIA together starting war on Cuba

Bay of pigs and poison assassination headlines

Had to be d**e cops in the Mafia

Sold all their h****n in America

Had to be the FBI and organized crime working together

In cahoots against the commies

Had to be ringing on multinational cash registers

A world wide laundry for organized criminal money

Had to be the CIA and the Mafia and the FBI together

Bigger than Nixon

And bigger than war

Had to be a large room full of murder

Had to be a mounted a** a solid mass of rage

Had to be a red hot head

A scream in the back of the throat

Had to be in Kissinger's brain

Had to be in Rockefellers' mouth

Had to be central intelligence the family all of this the agency Mafia

One big set of criminal gangs working together in cahoots

Hitmen

Murderers everywhere

Outrage gonna make secret drunk brutal dirty and rich

On top of a slag heap of prisons

Industrial cancer

Plutonium smog

Garbage cities

Grandmas' bed soft fathers' resentment

Had to be the rulers

Wanted law and order

And they got rich on wanting protection for the status quo

Wanted junkies

Wanted Attica

Wanted Kent State

Wanted war in Indochina

Yeah

Had to be the CIA and the Mafia and the FBI

Multinational capitalists

Strong armed squads

Private detective agencies for the oh so very rich

And their armies and navies and their air force bombing planes

Had to be capitalism

The vortex of this rage

This competition

Man to man

The horses head in a capitalists' bed

The Cuban turf in competitions

Hitmen in gang wars across oceans

Bombing Cambodia settled the score

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 one mind

Brute force and full of money

One mind brute force and full of money

One mind brute force and full of money

One mind brute force and full of money

One mind brute force and full of money

And full of money

And full of money

And full of money

They had to murder in Indonesia 500000

Had to murder in Indochina 2000000

Had to murder in Czechoslovakia

Had to murder in Chile

Had to murder in Russia

And they had to murder in America
