《The Ballad Of Charles Whitman》歌词

[00:00:00] The Ballad Of Charles Whitman - Kinky Friedman

[00:00:00] He was sitting up there for more than an hour

[00:00:04] Way up there on the texas tower

[00:00:06] Shooting from the twenty seventh floor yahoo

[00:00:11] He didn't choke or slash or slit them

[00:00:13] Not our charles joseph whitman

[00:00:15] He won't be an architect no more

[00:00:19] Got up that morning calm and cool

[00:00:24] He picked up his guns and walked to school

[00:00:28] All the while he smiled so sweetly

[00:00:30] And it blew their minds completely

[00:00:33] Theyd never seen an eagle scout so cruel

[00:00:37] Now won't you think for the shame and degradation

[00:00:39] For the schools administration

[00:00:41] He put on such a bold and brassy show

[00:00:45] The chance looked right

[00:00:47] It's adolescent

[00:00:48] And of course it's most unpleasant

[00:00:50] But I got to admit it was a lovely way to go

[00:00:54] There was a rumor about a tumor

[00:00:58] Nestled at the base of his brain

[00:01:03] He was sitting up there with his 36 magnum

[00:01:05] Laughing wildly as he bagged 'em

[00:01:08] Who are we to say the boys insane

[00:01:29] Now Charlie was awful disappointed

[00:01:31] Else he thought he was anointed

[00:01:34] To do a deed so lowdown and so mean

[00:01:38] The students looked up from their classes

[00:01:40] Had to stop and rub their glasses

[00:01:42] Whod believe hed once been a marine

[00:01:47] Now Charlie made the honor roll with ease

[00:01:51] Most all of his grades was as and bs

[00:01:56] A real rip snorting trigger squeezer

[00:01:58] Charlie proved a big crowd pleaser

[00:02:00] Though he had been known to make a couple cs

[00:02:04] Some were dying some were weeping

[00:02:07] Some were studying some were sleeping

[00:02:09] Some were shouting texas 1

[00:02:13] Some were running

[00:02:14] Some were falling

[00:02:15] Some were screaming some were balling

[00:02:18] Some thought the revolution had begun

[00:02:22] The doctors tore his poor brain down

[00:02:27] But not a snitch of illness could be found

[00:02:31] Most folks couldn't figure just a why he did it

[00:02:33] And them that could would not admit it

[00:02:36] Theres still a lot of eagle scouts around

[00:02:40] There was a rumor about a tumor

[00:02:44] Nestled at the base of his brain

[00:02:48] He was sitting up there with his 36 magnum

[00:02:51] Laughing wildly as he bagged 'em

[00:02:54] Who are we to say the boys in

[00:02:56] Who are we to say the boys in

[00:02:58] Who are we to say the boys insane
