All gather round his coffin now and cry

In my little town
I never meant nothing, I was just my father's son
Saving my money,
Dreaming of glory,
Twitching like finger on the trigger of a gun
Leaving nothing but the dead and dying
Back in my little town.

(Paul Simon)

Some punk has chopped off his head
And I'm the only one who stops
To see if he's dead
