I was walking down the streets

I saw a helicopter flying over me

And some guy was being held from it by his feet

He was dropped down and he hit the ground

I approached him and I asked if there was anything I can do

He said, It's too late for me I guess

But there's something I'd like to get off my chest

And would you listen please?

Well, I had to say yes

This is what he said

He said

I killed JFK

On a sunny day

With some other guys you still see walking around

I was on a grassy knoll

Dressed like a hobo

With another guy dressed like a clown

I said, wow, is that true?

But he just turned blue

And then he said

He said

It's my time, I've got to go, let this be a lesson

This is my deathbed confession

It's my time, I've got to go, let this be a lesson

This is my deathbed confession

Well, after that I decided to take a walk by the seashore

As I was looking out at the ocean a submarine surfaced

And I saw a guy get thrown off the deck

As he tried to swim ashore

He was badly mauled by sharks

He crawled onto the sand

I tried to give him a hand but he said, no, it's to late for me

But, you know, I've got some stuff I've got to confess

And this was what he said

He said

I killed MLK for the CIA

And Malcom X for Federal Express

George Jackson, Fred Hampton, Bobby Hunt

And yeah, and all the rest

Yeah, that's what he said

He said

It's my time, I've got to go, let this be a lesson

This is my deathbed confession

It's my time, I've got to go, let this be a lesson

This is my deathbed confession

Man

So I kept walking and I walked by this fast food establishment

There was a distinguished looking guy inside

And he started choking on his french fries

And crawled out onto the pavement

Yeah, then he started to die

I tried to give him CPR and he said

No, but sonny, I've got something to confess

I said, I'm no priest

He said, that's ok, make this easy on me

This is what he had to say

He said

I faked the Moon landing

I saved Hitler's brain

Yeah, it's in Argentina but it controls the USA

I fixed the Pope's election

I did the October Surprise

I was the French Connection

I've got Ray Charles' eyes

I did the Gulf of Tonkin

Got Saddam to invade

I planned the Bay of Pigs

I put Lumumba in his grave

He said

That's what he said

It's my time, I've got to go, let this be a lesson

This is my deathbed confession

It's my time, I've got to go, let this be a lesson

This is my deathbed confession

It's my time, I've got to go, let this be a lesson

This is my deathbed confession

It's my time, I've got to go, let this be a lesson

This is my deathbed confession
