  • Yes, there's music with this. Music that Hicks composed and played was added posthumously to the recording. It runs throughout the album. Sometimes after bits, sometimes during. (Stavro Arrgolus)
  • Song Lyrics:
    Why I love talkin' bout the Kennedy assassination, man. That's my favorite topic. You know why? 'Cause to me, it's a great archetype example of how the totalitarian government who rules this planet partitions out information in such a way that we, the masses, are forced to base our conclusions on erroneous...

    ..oh, I'm sorry. Wrong meeting. I thought this was the meeting at the docks, y'know? That's tomorrow night, alright. Everyone followed that. That's the frightening ******' thing. Everyone here is goin' 'uh-huh.' Ha ha. Goddamit! Are we that cynical? 'Yes we are, Bill. We will take any blow you give us, go! We, too, will be at the meeting at the docks tomorrow, you ******!' Everyone of ya- 'We're with ya.' Cool.

    But I love Kennedy, man. I was just down at..just up at the...I was just in Dallas and you know you can go to the sixth floor of the Schoolbook Depository- didja know it's a museum called the Assassination Museum- didja know that? True. I think they named that after the assassination- I'm not sure of the chronology there, but it's really weird. They have these windows set up to look exactly like it did on that day and it's really accurate, y'know, 'cause Oswald's not in it. I don't know who did their research, but we're talking painstaking detail.

    It's true, man. It's called the 'sniper's nest' and it's all glassed in with the boxes sittin' there. You can't actually get to the window. And the reason they did that, of course, is they didn't want thousands of American tourists gettin' to that window each year and goin, "There's no ******' way! I can't even see the road! Oh, my God, they're lying! It's a giant totalitarian government that rules the planet via the airwaves partitioning off information in such a way.."

    There's no ******' way, man! Not unless Oswald was hanging by his toes upside down from the ledge. Surely someone would have seen this. Either that or some pigeons grabbed onto him and flew him over the motorcade. Y'know, there was rumors of anti-Castro pigeons seen drinking in bars the night before the assassination. Someone overheard them saying, "coup, coup!"

    (crowd groans)

    Aww, alright. Don't get on your 'We hate puns' high horse. f**k you! That is the best goddamn pun you will ever hear! It was kind of a rotten trick to make a pun out of that one.

    I'll tell ya, seriously, man. Talkin' bout the Kennedy assassination, it really is, it's an incredible example of somethin'. I don't know what yet. It's pretty engrossing to me. But people's attitudes. It's incredible to me. They come up- "Bill, quit talkin' bout Kennedy, man. Let it go. Was a long time ago, wouldja just forget about it?" And I'm like- All right, then don't bring up Jesus to me. As long as we're talkin' shelf life here.

    "Bill, y'know, Jesus died for you." Yeah, it was a long time ago. Let it go! Forget about it. How about this? Get Pilate to release the ******' files! Quit washin' your hands and release the files, Pilate! Who else was on that grassy Golgotha that day? Oh, yeah, the three Roman peasants with the hundred dollar sandals- yeah, right!

    Yes, if you insist on having puns in your act, it had better be this good.

    Coup, coup...
