    Story Behind the Song
    This has traditionally been the band's live opener. The lyrics were inspired by the conspiracy surrounding the assassination of John F. Kennedy.

    Lyrics
    Drivin' in that big black car,
    Gunmen lie hidden not too far.
    Can you see them comin' down the street,
    The bullets speak of the evil deed.
    The people cry at the loss,
    Money cannot pay the cost.
    A man too young to die,
    Suffering from selfish lies.

    His death will remain a mystery,
    A cover-up that keeps criminals free.
    Fillin' their pockets until they get old,
    We've waited too long, let the truth be told.

    The news swept the nation,
    There's a false explanation.
    Showed us a conspiracy,
    Nothin' as it seems to be.
    Killed his brother, shot him down,
    Wasted away in that big old town.
    Our country in an unstable time,
    Can't handle such a crime.
