LEE HARVEY OSWALD
by ET2BRUTE
-------------------------------------
NEVER HAD A FATHER
WHEN HE WAS YOUNG
DAVID FERRIE
TROOP LEADER NUMBER ONE
JOINED THE MILITARY
AS A U.S. MARINE
HE WAS MOVED INTO INTELLIGENCE
AT THE AGE OF NINETEEN

MANIPULATION
COURTESY OF THE CIA
GROOMING YOUNG LEE HARVEY
FOR HIS SPECIAL DAY
THEY LED HIM RIGHT ON DOWN
THEIR GOLDEN PATH
SACRIFICIAL LAMB
THEY CREATED HIS PAST

HE WAS LEE HARVEY

HE WAS LEE HARVEY

HE WAS LEE HARVEY OSWALD


THEY TOLD HIM
HE WAS IN THE CIA
AND SENT HIM OFF TO RUSSIA
FOR AN EXTENDED STAY
TAUGHT HIM RUSSIAN LANGUAGE
GAVE HIM U-2 INFORMATION
SPY PLANE SHOT DOWN
FOR A COLD WAR CONFRONTATION

THE RUSSIANS DID NOT KNOW
WHAT IT WAS THAT THEY SHOULD DO
WITH THIS OBVIOUS CIA MAN
WITH A MISSION NO ONE KNEW
AND WHEN HE CAME ON BACK
WITH HIS RUSSIAN WIFE
HE THOUGHT HE’D BE REWARDED
WITH A DECENT LIFE

BUT HE WAS LEE HARVEY OSWALD
HIS CIA SPECIAL HANDLER
MET LEE UPON ARRIVAL
TOOK HIM UNDER WING
NO CHANCE OF LEE’S SURVIVAL
THEY SET LEE HARVEY UP
TO STRUGGLE AT MINIMUM WAGE
WITH PLENTY OF IDEAS
TO KEEP HIS SPARE TIME ENGAGED

LEE WORKED AS AN INFORMANT
FOR THE FBI
CONTINUED WITH HIS LIFE
AS AN AMERICAN SPY
BACK WITH DAVID FERRIE
BANISTER, SHAW AND THEIR CUBAN FRIENDS
DISTRIBUTING CUBAN LEAFLETS
ANOTHER MEANS TO LEE’S END

HE WAS LEE HARVEY OSWALD

LEE TRIED TO GET WORD OUT
ABOUT THE PLOT UNDERWAY
A CARAVAN HEADING TO DALLAS
WAS TO MURDER JFK
BUT HE WAS RELAYING NEWS
SOMETHING HOOVER ALREADY KNEW
AND THERE WAS NOTHING ABOUT IT
OLD J. EDGAR WAS GOING TO DO

LEE HARVEY DID NOT REALIZE
THAT IT WAS ALL JUST A GAME
AND THAT HE HAD BEEN SET UP
TO BE KILLED AND TAKE THE BLAME
A FOOT SOLDIER
ONLY KNOWS ONE THING HE SHOULD DO
FOLLOW ALL THE ORDERS
AS THEY MAKE THEIR WAY THROUGH

HE WAS LEE HARVEY OSWALD

SO HE WENT ON DOWN TO WORK
JUST LIKE ANY OTHER DAY
THE MURDERERS HAD REROUTED
THE PRESIDENT’S MOTORCADE
THEY TOOK THEIR SIX BEST SHOTS
FROM THREE KILL ZONE LOCATIONS
PROVIDED LEE’S NAME
AND CONCLUDED THE INVESTIGATION


EVERY ASSASSINATION
NEEDS A PATSY TO DIE
BUT SOMETHING WENT BAD WRONG
AND LEE HARVEY WAS TAKEN ALIVE
HE TALKED FOR TWO FULL DAYS
NO ONE RECORDED OR NOTED A WORD
IT WAS JUST A MATTER OF TIME
BEFORE HE’D NO LONGER BE HEARD

HE WAS LEE HARVEY OSWALD


SET UP FROM THE START
AND MURDERED AT TWENTY FOUR
LEE TOOK ONE FOR THE TEAM
WITHOUT KNOWING THE SCORE
HE KNEW HIS KILLER WELL
JACK RUBY WAS HIS NAME
THEY HAD EACH BEEN GIVEN PARTS
IN THIS COUP’D’TAT GAME

THE WARREN COMMISSION COMMITTED
THE TREASONOUS DIRTY DEED
OF LYING TO THE PEOPLE
MEANINGLESS WORDS THAT NO ONE BELIEVED
ALONE AT THE END
AND INTO HIS GRAVE
HATED BY THE PEOPLE
NO ONE WAS SAVED

HE WAS LEE HARVEY OSWALD

Teigne warrenisteLa ballade d'Ozzie aurait pû avoir un rythme cajun ou dixie plutôt que cubain...

Né à la Nouvelle-Orléans, Ozzie était, de par son père, apparenté au général sudiste Robert E. Lee, et de par sa mère, avait des origines "cajuns"...

MarsCher TW

Tu as parfaitement raison !!!

Mais reconnaissons que l'initiative est "louable", autant que les paroles, qui elles, sont à mon avis, très proches de la réalité !!!
