Assassination
Shocks a nation
When such a brutal crime
Is killing Christmas time
They capped our hero
Under mistletoe
Unveiled the bitter signs
Declared and left behind

And no one wants to see it, 'cause no one can believe it
A traffic cop let some strangers free
Assassination on Christmas eve
And police and detectives were purely ineffective
The D.A.'s resignation stands
Assassination on Christmas Eve

And a traffic cop let some strangers get away
And a traffic cop let some strangers get away

Assassination
Shocks a nation
When such a brutal crime
Is killing Christmas time
They capped our hero
Under mistletoe
Unveiled the bitter signs
Declared and left behind
And no one wants to see it, 'cause no one can believe it
The teenage revolutions planned
Assassination on Christmas Eve
And police and detectives were purely ineffective
The D.A.'s resignation stands
Assassination on Christmas Eve

And a traffic cop let some strangers get away
And a traffic cop let some strangers get away
And a traffic cop let some strangers get away
And a traffic cop let some strangers get away
