Lyrics

Warmest December, New Yorkers ever saw
John & Yoko were enjoying the thaw
Then out of the shadows, there stepped a man
Who crouched on the sidewalk, a gun in his hand
Five shoots shattered the Dakota?s door
But with ?Catcher in the Rye? we learned there was more
The government tried to stop him, but never had
Just another lone nut gone bad!

Another warm day, Was Dallas this time
John & Jackie were feeling just fine
Though John even joked, ?twas a good day for a killing
No one else seemed to share the same feeling
as they turned the corner and slowed to a crawl
Rifle bursts rang out and ended it all
Dulles tried to stop him but never had
Just another lone nut gone bad!

Then there was Martin, who preached about peace
Hoover couldn?t stop him, he seemed out of reach
His people were listening and began to take action
from out of the shadows came other factions
Way down South, ?round Memphis way
More rifle shots rang out and ended his day
Hoover tried to stop him, but never had
Just another lone nut gone bad!

And what about Bobbie, ?bout to win the race
His opponents would have to live in disgrace
From just one inch behind his right ear
I?m sure all us have nothing to fear
Then a man with a gun stood barring the way
Even great Rosie, couldn?t save him that day
They all tried to stop him, but never had
Just another lone nut gone bad!

So, for all of you leaders who talk about peace
The message is clear; you?re never out of reach
Even Rabin, when he railed against war
pistol shots rang out, now he cries no more
How many leaders? Just what amount?
Stand in their way and you?re down for the count
They may try to stop you, though they never had
Just another lone nut gone bad!
