The Ballad of Charles Whitman — текст песни (Kinky Friedman)





(kinky friedman)



He was sitting up there for more than an hour,

Way up there on the texas tower

Shooting 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 sweetly

And it blew their minds completely,

Theyd never seen an eagle scout so cruel.



Now wont you think for the shame and degradation

For the schools administration

He put on such a bold and brassy show.

The chance looked right, its adolescent

And of course its most unpleasant

But I got to admit it was a lovely way to go.



There was a rumor about a tumor

Nestled at the base of his brain.

He was sitting up there with his .36 magnum

Laughing wildly as he bagged em.

Who are we to say the boys insane ?



Now charlie was awful disappointed

Else he thought he was anointed

To do a deed so lowdown and so mean.

The students looked up from their classes

Had 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 squeezer

Charlie proved a big crowd pleaser

Though 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 it

And them that could would not admit it,

Theres still a lot of eagle scouts around.



There was a rumor about a tumor

Nestled at the base of his brain.

He was sitting up there with his .36 magnum

Laughing wildly as he bagged em.

Who are we to say the boys in

Who are we to say the boys in

Who are we to say the boys insane ?
