about

I have an interest in conspiracy and penned this one Saturday afternoon after watching JFK. 3 defining momments in history that really interest me and started my grey cells twitching to the conspiarcy thing. JFK, Marilyn Monroe and Malcolm X.

lyrics

FLIP THE DIME

A November day in Dallas
When the motorcade went past
The 35th smiled from inside
Who knew it’d be his last
The shots ring out and people scream
From where nobody knows
First lady screaming in despair
Blood splattered on her clothes

Who has the right
To take their life
Before their time
Do we win
Do we lose
Flip the dime

The bombshell lay upon her bed
No make up, hair undone
A suicide to end her life
Her pills the smoking gun
Took her own life or was she killed
The crime scene primed and set
Conspiracy, LAPD
Just how was her end met?

Who has the right
To take their life
Before their time
Do we win
Do we lose
Flip the dime

A man called “X” came to light
A voice for ones oppressed
Went further than the ones before
Believer in his quest
When Malcom spoke the Nation shook
Some angered by his word
A ballroom, but no dancing here
His final speech was heard

Who has the right?
To take their life
Before their time
Do we win?
Do we lose?
Flip the dime

Stand up for what you believe
It’s taught to us in schools
But a higher power is at work
Free speech but their own rules
So please, I ask, don’t rock the boat
And make the people think
If you’re popular you’ll tow the line
Or vanish in a blink…..

They have the right
To take their life
