hey, murder

hey, murder
a man exploded on the stairs/
who cares/ do his pieces matter/
growing fatter in the news/
he wasn't going anywhere/
unfair/ real life had just begun/
he'd won/ out for kicks/
for fun/ was he someone's son/
what a shame/ what's his name
life's work/ it's all the rage/
murder here/ murder there/
sure to make the front page/
murder me/ murder you/
revenge you know was overdue
the blast was rather loud/
a crowd/ who really knew the facts/
one act laid his audience back/
he wasn't finished yet/
no sweat/ hands too cold and still/
what will/ heart like a brick/
the kill/ in for the thrill/
what's his name/ what a shame
life's worth/ bird in a cage/
murder here/ murder there/
our time in the atomic age/
murder me/ murder you/
time to rendevous
all the sitting ducks got popped/
stopped/ everybody back to bed/
dead/ thirty-one or slightly more/
want to watch the video/
hullo/ don't forget remote control/
dig a foxhole/ do the arithmetic/
see the black hole/ run it up the flagpole/
what a shame/ what's his name
your acclaim/ become a brand name/
one more electronic game/
all the same/ it's still a shame/
you're the only one to claim/
the blame/ for our times/
from our times/ for our lives
