Lyrics
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 didn't choke or slash or slit them
Not our Charles Joseph Whitman
He won't 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
They'd never seen an Eagle Scout so cruel

Now won't you think for the shame and degradation
For the school's administration
He put on such a bold and brassy show
The Chancellor cried
