The Ballad Of Frank Olson

Found him on the sidewalk broken in two

But they ain't ever gonna know who pushed

Frank Olson from the window of his room

If they don't know now then they won't know soon

The wife's in whiskey and the son's in hell

Olson was killed in the Statler hotel

Destination fifty-three

Was declassified

Said he was pushed he didn't fall

But the lost son knows that the government knows

Here lies flat and cold

Never dig up your fathers bones

Olson lies dead and sold

Nobody knows what the government knows
