I Shot JFK
Unveiling Truth's Illusions
Lyrics
Witness me re-write history
Expressing a desire to redefine historical narratives.
The same thing they've been doing for all our lives
Commentary on the consistent manipulation of history throughout their lives.
But this time it's my turn, so I paint the tallest (the tallest of lies)
Claiming a personal opportunity to fabricate a significant falsehood.
And who wouldn't believe me?
Confident that people would believe the fabricated story.
When a lie ain't as far-fetched as the truth
Highlighting the plausibility of lies compared to the sometimes unbelievable truth.
The line between truth and lie turns grey, as it fades away
Describing the blurred boundary between truth and lies that gradually disappears.
(And by the way I shot JFK)
Claiming responsibility for the assassination of JFK, possibly metaphorically.
Can't you see it in the headlines?
Pointing out that the fabricated story is evident in headlines.
Suckers line up to believe
People eagerly accepting and believing the fabricated narrative.
And then they'll know I shot JFK
Reiterating the claim of shooting JFK and anticipating widespread belief.
Mass media / Mass murderers of the truth
Connecting mass media to the distortion of truth and labeling them as mass murderers of the truth.
(Lying my way towards fifteen minutes of fame)
Admitting to lying for a brief period of fame.
(Lee Harvey Oswald ain't shit to me)
Dismissing the significance of Lee Harvey Oswald in comparison to their claimed act.
I've got a magic bullet
Referencing a 'magic bullet,' possibly symbolizing a fabricated story that targets specific individuals.
It's got your name on it, and it's got your name on it
Emphasizing the personalized nature of the fabricated narrative and its intended impact.
Last chance to reclaim history: as tyrants feed on the bored and the weak
Opportunity for individuals to challenge historical narratives, portraying tyrants taking advantage of vulnerable populations.
And who wouldn't believe me?
Reiterating the belief that people would accept the fabricated story.
When a lie ain't as far fetched as the truth
Reemphasizing the plausibility of lies compared to the sometimes unbelievable truth.
The line between truth and lie turns grey, and it's gone
Describing the disappearance of the boundary between truth and lies.
(It's gone)
Highlighting the complete disappearance of the boundary.
Can't you see it in the headlines?
Observing the fabricated story in headlines and the willingness of people to believe it.
Suckers line up to believe (believe the lie)
Reiterating the theme of people eagerly accepting and believing the fabricated narrative.
And then they'll know i shot JFK
Anticipating widespread acceptance of the claim of shooting JFK.
Mass media, mass murderers of the truth
Linking mass media to the distortion of truth, repeating the label "mass murderers of the truth."
The line between truth and lie turns grey (I shot JFK)
Reiterating the disappearance of the boundary between truth and lies in the context of the claimed act.
And the line between truth and lie turns grey (and it's gone)
Emphasizing the complete disappearance of the boundary between truth and lies.
