The CIA Killed Bill Hicks (lyrics)

"It's just a ride,
life's but a dream,"
said the preacher man from George
of no faith.

He spoke of love
and corporate greed,
they put a bullet 'tween his eyes for irony.

Drowning in ads and dim lit screens,
there was no need for convincing,
he just wanted to tell the truth.
Young in years, but miles ahead,
they didn't like the things he said.
The CIA killed Bill Hicks.

They blamed it on a life unclean,
trade a coke habit for nights of desert trips.
He met with gods
and UFOS,
but they knew his mind was just another threat. .

Drowning in ads and dim lit screens,
there was no need for convincing,
he just wanted to tell the truth.
Young in years, but miles ahead,
they didn't like the things he said.
The CIA killed Bill Hicks.
