Intelligence must be global and totalitarian
They were suicide missions
CIA's greatest single triumph
And then we'll have a storm
We ran it in a different way
Ham-handed operations of all kinds
He was lying down and he was lying up
We had also fooled ourselves
We'd be delighted to trade those missiles
Hey, boss, we did a good job, didn't we?
I thought it was a conspiracy
The beginning of a long slide downwards
We knew then that we could not win the war
Track down the foreign communists
What the hell do those clowns do out there in Langley?
USG wants a military solution
We are going to catch a lot of hell
To change the concept of a secret service
The CIA would be destroyed
He sought to overthrow their system
We were just plain asleep
He was running a great risk
What are we going to do when the wall comes down?
Why in the world didn't we know?
The threat could not be more real
