Deathbed Confession

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
