about

Written and recorded on the day T.M. was put to death.
It should not be interpreted from the song that I support the ideals or methods that occupied the life of Timothy McVeigh. The only message I wish to portray is that killing is wrong.

I had to apply some small poetic license in the location of the child care center

And before anyone gets their nose out of joint over this, let me finish the song
-—————————————————————————————-

lyrics

Did you see what the government did at Waco?
They sent the negotiators away, who were avoiding the play at Waco.
Then our boys drove their tanks on top of family members‘s graves.
They sent out the message that all were going to pay
For 51 days at Waco.

They pumped (a known) flammable gas into the church
at Waco
Children trapped in the basement suffocated on that gas
at Waco
Then the government erased incriminating video tape
They kept the reporters away the day they knew they were going to kill
at Waco

Did you see the flames from the burning church at Waco?
Timothy McVeigh watched that church burned that day at Waco
Timothy McVeigh cried over Waco
Timothy McVeigh cried for Waco

Monsters don’t cry
Monsters don’t cry

The government trained Timothée McVay to be a killer
Timothy McVeigh was a celebrated golf war hero
The government told Timothy McVeigh it was OK to kill for America
The government says it’s OK to kill for America

Timothy McVeigh drove a truck to Oklahoma City
He blew the federal building in half, in Oklahoma City
He crushed children trapped in the basement at Oklahoma City
168 families were broken in Oklahoma City

Monsters don’t cry
Monsters don’t cry

Timothy McVeigh takes the needle today for Waco
A family in the building are going to watch him pay for Oklahoma City
The government says it’s OK to kill for America
The government says it’s OK to kill for America

Monsters don’t cry
Monsters don’t cry
Monsters don’t cry
