Yeah ya tryin' ta tire me, tire me
I can see you in front of me, front of me
Ya tryin' ta tire me, tire me
Why don't you get from in front of me?
Oh she's got everyone's eyes
Yeah!
In every home there's a sickening distress
Yeah!
Of roll that film she's a precious, a precious one
But we're all gonna, nah we're already dead!
We're already dead!
And those colorful words for tha Laos frontiers-man
Who passed away with the truth
Amidst the eulogies of bliss
Who will know now what I know about you?
Now that history's a flowery cancerous mess
Yeah ya tryin' ta tire me
A mess!
Overbearing yes ya tryin' ta tire me
A mess!
Yeah ya tryin' ta tire me, tire me
So get the fuck from in front of me
Nah let's see it broken, bloody and undressed!
We're already dead!
In a violent time (?)
I want to be Jackie Onassis
I want to wear a pair of dark sunglasses
I want to be Jackie O
Oh oh oh oh please don't die!
Yeah ya tryin' ta tire me, tire me
I can see you in front of me, front of me
Ya tryin' ta tire me, tire me
Why don't you get from in front of me?
Ruh!
We're already dead!
We're already dead!
We're already dead!
I can see you in front of me, front of me
Ya tryin' ta tire me, tire me
Why don't you get from in front of me?
Oh she's got everyone's eyes
Yeah!
In every home there's a sickening distress
Yeah!
Of roll that film she's a precious, a precious one
But we're all gonna, nah we're already dead!
We're already dead!
And those colorful words for tha Laos frontiers-man
Who passed away with the truth
Amidst the eulogies of bliss
Who will know now what I know about you?
Now that history's a flowery cancerous mess
Yeah ya tryin' ta tire me
A mess!
Overbearing yes ya tryin' ta tire me
A mess!
Yeah ya tryin' ta tire me, tire me
So get the fuck from in front of me
Nah let's see it broken, bloody and undressed!
We're already dead!
In a violent time (?)
I want to be Jackie Onassis
I want to wear a pair of dark sunglasses
I want to be Jackie O
Oh oh oh oh please don't die!
Yeah ya tryin' ta tire me, tire me
I can see you in front of me, front of me
Ya tryin' ta tire me, tire me
Why don't you get from in front of me?
Ruh!
We're already dead!
We're already dead!
We're already dead!

"Amidst the eulogies of bliss
Who will know now what I know about you?
Now that history's a flowery cancerous mess"
This refers to how at Nixon and JFK's eulogies, no one mentions the bad crap they did (Watergate [nixon], Vietnam war covert operations [both], causing the Cuban Missile Crisis [jfk], voter fraud [JFK, maybe nixon too], etc), everyone only remembered the good.

However, the lyrics are mostly dealing with the media's infatuation with the Kennedys and how blind everyone was to the crap that he pulled behind the scenes.
"Oh she's got everyone's eyes" - Jackie was supposedly the "perfect" American. All the media was all over her up until her death (see below). She was actually a gold-digger who really never contributed anything to anything. Born to wealth and married the very wealthy Aristotle Onassis after JFK was assassinated.
"I want to be Jackie Onassis
I want to wear a pair of dark sunglasses
I want to be Jackie O
Oh oh oh oh please don't die!"
- This is a tribute to a punk song, I forgot which one, but it fits the song's meanings well. When Jackie O was dying of cancer, everyone was so obsessed with her like she was an important figure. They were blind to the stuff that was really going on.
"And those colorful words for tha Laos frontiers-man Who passed away with the truth" - This is a reference to the Hmong tribe in Laos. The CIA basically used them to fight the Vietcong covertly, and took poppy seeds with which they sold to pay for the operation.
It seems the best meaning for the song is celebrity´s effect on people.
Like paris hilton turning little girls into whores, people wanted to be like bruce willis, or some WWE wrestler and end up in a shitty office like the rest of us.

then you'll understand, great song, tragic history
The "sarcasm" is not directed at Kennedy but at the obsessive infatuation over the impending death of a single person, Jackie O, by the media yet a complete "ignorance" of the death, suffering, and misery of thousands upon thousands of the "unpeople" of the world affected by US policy. In this particular case, it is the massive number of Laotians murdered by Nixon (and the ever-present war criminal Kissinger) who was thus treated with high reverence in his eulogies.
It is essentially expressing the idea that "One death is a tragedy; a million is a statistic."
