Granpa was a pilot
While Hitler did his thing
Grandpa went and buzzed a base
They took away his wings
Dulles was a double agent
Made himself a king

The CIA was always in the wings
The CIA was always in the wings

Dad’s an epileptic
Or else he would have gone
Dad gave back his driver’s license
A promise made to mom
Landsdale was a psy-ops expert
Promised we would bomb

The CIA created Vietnam
The CIA created Vietnam

I wasn’t much a student
So college was a no
Found I hate the Army worse
And so they let me go
Now I’ve read a couple books
There’s one thing that I know

The CIA is still running the show
The CIA is still running the show

They ushered in Saddam then
Gave him rope to hang himself
Buffered Afghan/Iraq plans
With Karzai/Chalabi in wealth
If any of their people stand
For justice or their sovereign health
“Fuck terrorists! Fuck Taliban!”

Fuck intel wars of stealth

The CIA was always in the wings
The CIA created Vietnam
The CIA is still running the show
The CIA has to go
