The Ballad of Timothy McVeigh



From my 90's files:

The Ballad of Timothy McVeigh
to the tune of the Ballad of Lizzie Borden


Oh, you can't blow up buildings down in Oklahoma
not even if Bill Clinton gives you pain (gives you pain!)
No, you can't blow up buildings down in Oklahoma;
the judge may rule that you are not insane.

Oh, you can't blow up buildings down in Oklahoma
not even if Miz Reno makes you sore (makes you sore!)
No, you can't blow up buildings down in Oklahoma;
the ATF will even out the score.

Oh, you can't blow up buildings down in Oklahoma
not even if the talk-show says you might (says you might!)
No, you can't blow up buildings down in Oklahoma;
you know deep in your heart that isn't right.

Oh, you can't blow up buildings down in Oklahoma
not even if God tells you in a dream (in a dream!)
No, you can't blow up buildings down in Oklahoma;
that sort of thing can harm your self-esteem.

Oh, you can't blow up buildings down in Oklahoma
not even if you want less government (government!)
No, you can't blow up buildings down in Oklahoma;
they might not understand that's what you meant.
