The Unabomber was apprehended in April 1996 and I thought to make a NewsRevue lyric out of it. Mercifully, I either thought better of the idea or ran out of ideas…or both. The fragment below might make you smile, though.
UNABOMBER I WANT
(To the Tune of “You’re The One That I Want”)
VERSE 1 – THE BOMBER, STRAPPED TO AN ELECTRIC CHAIR
I’ve got bombs, they’re worth applying,
Cos I’m out of control;
But the power I’m defying,
Is electrifying (electrifying, electrifying, electrifying).MIDDLE EIGHT 1 – THE COPS
You’d better confess,
Cos we need our man,
Keep the public satisfied.
You’d better confess,
You’d better understand,
Vengance has to be applied.
BOMBER: Are you sure?
COPS: Yes we’re sure to have you fried.CHORUS 1
