    Backstory:
    I always wanted to write a song about the John Kennedy assassination and it's my belief after years of study that Lee Harvey Oswald was the patsy he said he was.                   

    Lyrics:
                                                      
    He was a Patsy Found Oswald in the Texas Theater Roughed him up in his seat Planted a pistol on him Hauled him off like a dead beat To the police station Where they claimed he killed a cop Despite all of the denials The accusations didn't stop He was a patsy, his only plea A patsy his destiny A patsy he'd never walk free Was he an innocent man, someday we may see Took him in the back room Where they denied him all of his rights They said he killed the president Had their case wrapped up tight When he asked for a lawyer They lied right to his face They were out to frame him Labeled him a nut case CHORUS The cops said he'd fry in the Dallas electric chair And there won't be anybody who'll even care CHORUS REPEAT CHORUS TAG If we don't make this right A patsy is what he'll be
