Song of the Kid Killer

I am the kid killer,
Of the good ol’ USA.
Better than a car
Better than disease
I am the kid killer.

I am the very best.
I spray death
To those so young.
I am the kid killer.

When I’m done,
I’ve shredded them.
There’s little left,
All torn apart.
I steal all hope,
No future there.

I am the kid killer,
If young or old
That you can own.
That none can touch.

I am the kid killer.
I’m the golden calf,
For those not so sure,
For those so insecure,
For the terrified,
And the GOP.

I am the kid killer.
And now they say,
Dead kids are OK.
Just the price to pay,
To have me stay,
To have me say,
I am the kid killer.
