	This song is pretty obviously about Kennedy's assassination, and how in Rage's (Ginsberg's) opinion, it was not a single man. "Kennedy stretched and smiled and got double crossed by lowlife goons and agents" Also comments not so sublety on the rumored connections between organized crime and govermnent,

	The Live & Rare version is the best version they recorded. Other versions inc. the studio mix don't seem to capture Zacks rage. The lyrics are slightly different to the original poem but being live, the whole performance sounds amazing!

	This is my interpretation of the song: The poem uses the analogy that the global conflicts during the cold war between the U.S. government and the old Soviet Union were gang warfare: "The horses head in a capitalists' bed The Cuban turf It rumbles in hitmen And gang wars across oceans" The U.S. government is controlled by a few very wealthy minority and they employed the CIA as instigators and the U.S. armed forces as the muscle. The Soviet Union was also controlled by a very wealthy minority who used the KGB as instigators and the red army as the muscle: "Multinational capitalists Strong armed squads Private detective agencies for the oh so very rich And their armies and navies and their air force bombing planes" There seems to be a connection between the tactics used by the mafia, and the tactics used by Government agencies to defend territory. There also seems to be collaboration between the two (mafia and U.S. Government) against the Soviet Union: "It had to be the FBI and organized crime working together in cahoots against the commies" The poem reaches its climax, when the result of this gang warfare between rich people is revealed to be millions of poeple killed: "THEY had to be rich, THEY had to be powerful They had to murder in Indonesia 500000 They had to murder in Indochina 2000000 They had to murder in Czechoslovakia They had to murder in Chile They had to murder in Russia And they had to murder in America." In the beginning of the poem, the author imagines and wishes that this knowledge would be distributed in every corner of the U.S: "It had to be flashin' like the daily double It had to be playin' on TV It had to be loud mouthed on the comedy hour It had to be announced over loud speakers"

	Lyric corrections: "Brute force, world-wide, and full of money" is "One mind, brute force, its full of money." "The secret police have been embraced for decades" is ""The secret police embraced for decades" "NKPD" is "NKVD," (the 'Narodnyi Komissariat Vnutrennikh Del' or People's Commisariat for Internal Affairs, the Soviet secret police). "Grandmas' bed soft from fathers' resentment" is "Grandmas' bedsores, fathers' resentment"

	I think you are completely wrong its not a metaphor "The CIA and the Mafia are in cahoots" thats a literal statement
