5. The Motive, The Moment, and The Means, from "Dealey Plaza"

5. THE MOTIVE, THE MOMENT AND THE MEANS (Lyrics below) Words and Music by David Newby copyright 2013 Juan Halcon, tenor Antelope Valley Symphony Orchestra and Master Chorale David Newby, conductor Who is the wheat? Who is the chaff? Who put the bullet in the fatted calf? Who got the gold when the President got the shaft? And who’s at the top of the ladder when you follow the cash? Who got the patsy? Who got the guns? Who got the hit men to hit and run? And who kept the whole thing hidden from the light of the sun? And who stood to make a killing when the killing was done? REFRAIN They had the motive, the moment, and the means To get him in a slow-moving limousine. To put their heads together, to get their tails out of a mess. To take the home-court advantage and put him in a full-court press. It was open and shut and court was never gonna convene, And they all got rich with the motive, the moment, and the means. The CIA wasn’t doing well. Dulles, and Bissell, and Charles Cabell, Kennedy fired them all and they were mad as hell. But those Langley spooks could settle a score. They didn’t need Congress to start a war. Payback for the Bay of Pigs, and a little bit more. Lyndon Johnson was in a jam. The Senate had the skinny on his kickback plan. And JFK had found a new number two man. But LBJ wasn’t taking that crap. That boy knew his way around a murder rap. And his buddy Malcolm Wallace was mighty good at popping a cap. REFRAIN J. Edgar Hoover was feeling the fear, The mob had the dirt that could end his career. And he would have to turn in his badge in just one more year. But G-Man John was a man in the know. He only showed the skeletons he wanted to show. So Johnson made him sheriff for life in a quid pro quo. The FBI, the CIA The oil men, the Mafia, and LBJ They all did better when the world lost JFK. They led him into town like a southern host, They turned a Boston bean into Texas toast. They turned up the heat until his Harvard rump started to roast. REFRAIN
