1980
Reagan is sworn in
and he promises to make Amerika strong again
Build up the military
Rid all the Communists
and start an arms race only he can win
West 72nd street, Manhattan
Mark David Chapman with a gun in his hand
A Manchurian candidate on a star struck date
whos body is a tool for the CIA
As he looks up from the side walk
surroundings come into view
His eyes track back down past his wrist
His mind is not his own
nor is the gun that he's holding
and he has the strange sensation of wondering what he will do
Lennon wanted a revolution
and that was more than they could take
The Republicans needed a solution
Aggression's how they communicate
1980, Christmas not too far away
A songwriter crawls dying in the night
Four 38's caught in his back
and a black-op pawn re-writes Catcher in the Rye
Not a worldwide leader
but a worldwide motivator of anti-war activism
with the power to cause peace
When 5 years in hiding only makes your legend stronger
there is only one way to stop you
Imagine what could have been
Never before or since has one person held an influence
on so many people to move toward peace and all that it means
Then put yourself in Reagan's shoes
What would you do?
Lennon wanted a revolution
and that was more than they could take
The Republicans needed a solution
Aggression's how they communicate
Lennon wanted a revolution
and that was more than they could take
The Republicans needed a solution
Aggression's how they communicate
Justify the slaughter in Nicaragua
El Salvador and the death in Guatemala
A threat to you, and how you control
You use fear
You use hate
You use terror
You use pain
Take a deep breath
2 hands on the revolver
Cock the hammer
Don't pull, squeeze the trigger
John Hinkley Jr
My hero
Shoot straight, next time shoot straight
Next time shoot straight!
Lennon wanted a revolution
and that was more than they could take
The Republicans needed a solution
Aggression is how they communicate
Lennon wanted a revolution
and that was more than they could take
Lennon wanted a revolution
Reagan is sworn in
and he promises to make Amerika strong again
Build up the military
Rid all the Communists
and start an arms race only he can win
West 72nd street, Manhattan
Mark David Chapman with a gun in his hand
A Manchurian candidate on a star struck date
whos body is a tool for the CIA
As he looks up from the side walk

His eyes track back down past his wrist
His mind is not his own
nor is the gun that he's holding
and he has the strange sensation of wondering what he will do
Lennon wanted a revolution
and that was more than they could take

When 5 years in hiding only makes your legend stronger
