I just rCead the headlines in the NaFshville News F
And I wisCh i made this up but im afrFaid its true F
Cause a man wCas murdered for his money iFn the street F

When they Ccaught the man he did 23 months of timeF F
He plCead insanity like they do now all Fthe time F
Sir wChat would you have done in 1859 F F
now if you shoCot someone sir you can get oFff scott free F
its the latCest thing mr LincolnF can you believe F
