Kinky Friedman - The Ballad of Charles Whitman слова песни
(kinky friedman)He was sitting up there for more than an hour,Way up there on the texas towerShooting from the twenty-seventh floor. yahoo!He didnt choke or slash or slit them,Not our charles joseph whitman,He wont be an architect no more.Got up that morning calm and cool,He picked up his guns and walked to school.All the while he smiled so sweetlyAnd it blew their minds completely,Theyd never seen an eagle scout so cruel.Now wont you think for the shame and degradationFor the schools administrationHe put on such a bold and brassy show.The chance looked right, its adolescentAnd of course its most unpleasantBut I got to admit it was a lovely way to go.There was a rumor about a tumorNestled at the base of his brain.He was sitting up there with his .36 magnumLaughing wildly as he bagged em.Who are we to say the boys insane ? Now charlie was awful disappointedElse he thought he was anointedTo do a deed so lowdown and so mean.The students looked up from their classesHad to stop and rub their glasses,Whod believe hed once been a marine.Now charlie made the honor roll with ease,Most all of his grades was as and bs.A real rip snorting trigger squeezerCharlie proved a big crowd pleaserThough he had been known to make a couple cs.Some were dying, some were weeping,Some were studying, some were sleeping,Some were shouting texas # 1!Some were running, some were falling,Some were screaming, some were balling,Some thought the revolution had begun.The doctors tore his poor brain down,But not a snitch of illness could be found.Most folks couldnt figure just-a why he did itAnd them that could would not admit it,Theres still a lot of eagle scouts around.There was a rumor about a tumorNestled at the base of his brain.He was sitting up there with his .36 magnumLaughing wildly as he bagged em.Who are we to say the boys inWho are we to say the boys inWho are we to say the boys insane ?
