Rage Against The Machine - Hadda Be Playing on the Jukebox (Live) lyrics

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 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 big-time syndicate 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 foghorned into New York harbor It had to echo under hard hats It had to turn up the volume in the university ballrooms It had to be written in library books, footnoted It had to be in the headlines of the Times and Lamonte It had to be barked over TV It had to be heard in side alleys through ballroom doors It had to be played on wire services It had to be bells ringin' 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 together weekends Reported Time magazine It had to be the Mafia and the CIA together starting war on Cuba Bay of Pigs and poison a**a**ination headlines It had to be dope cops in the Mafia Who sold all that h**n 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 World-wide laundry for organized criminal money It had to be the CIA and the Mafia and the FBI together Bigger than Nixon and they were bigger than war It had to be a gorged throat full of murder It had to be a mounted a**, a solid ma** of rage It hadda be a red hot head A scream in the back of the throat It had to be in Kissinger's brain It had to be in Rockefellers' mouth It had to be the Central Intelligence, the Family, "our thing", the Agency Mafia One big set of criminal gangs working together in cahoots Hitmen, murderers everywhere, outraged on the make The sick, the drunk, the brutal and rich On top of a slag heap of prisons Industrial cancer Plutonium smog Garbage cities Grandmas' bed sores Fathers' resentments It 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 It 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, their navies and air force bombing planes It had to be capitalism This vortex of this rage This competition, man to man The horse's head in a capitalists' bed The Cuban turf, and rumbles and hitmen And gang wars across oceans Bombing Cambodia settled the score With White House pots and pans A warning to Mediterranean governments The secret police have braced for decades The NKVD 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 be rich, they had to be powerful They had to murder in Indonesia 500,000 They had to murder in Indochina 2,000,000 Had to murder in Czechoslovakia Had to murder in Chile Had to murder in Russia And had to murder in America
