Do not mention his name
The man kills John Lennon, now he's on TV again
He's blaming Holden Caulfield in the face of the lens
And each time he does it, he kills him againWho killed John Lennon?
A loser with a pistol, a martyr's best friend
And each time he's televised, he kills him again
It's the prize that he wanted when he loaded the gun
And each time he's mentioned, murder is done
So, who killed John Lennon?
A no oneHe's on TV again
He's playing the hero
The networks won't let the story end
He brings in the ratings for them
He's playing the hero
But he's a killer
He's been convicted
He's been convictedHis lawyer must think it's a game
Though he knows Lennon's songs, both in word and by name
He cold calls the networks, retrieves all the funds
Then he scrapes his percentage when the programs are run
