December 8, 1980

1980 Regan is sworn in and he promises to make America strong again
Build up the military rid all the Communists 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 who’s body is a tool for a for the CIA

As he looks up from the sidewalk his surroundings come into view his eye 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 is how they communicate

1980 christmas not too far away a songwriter crawls dying in the night
Four 38s caught in his back and a black-op pawn rewrites 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 influence on so many people
to move toward peace and all that it means then put your self 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 is 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 your 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
