Assassination shocks a nation
When such a brutal crime is killing Christmas time
They capped the hero under mistletoe
Unveiled the bitter sign, declared and left behind

And no one wants to see it, 'cause no one can believe it
A traffic cop set 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 the hero under mistletoe
Unveiled the bitter sign, declared and left behind

And no one wants 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
