The Bad Man Got Away Lyrics

Richard X. Heyman The Bad Man Got Away

Mediocre actor, miscast in the role
Media attractor, when he gained/lost control
Gunning with a vengeance, ignorance adored
Mediocre actor wants Academy Award

Whoa, the bad man got away
Whoa, now someone's got to pay

Down in Dealey Plaza, no one knew his name
Peering out just as a car passed he took aim
Soon he's apprehended, hours later dead
Those left unattended wiped their brows and fled

Whoa, the bad man got away
Whoa, now someone's got to pay

Now it doesn't seem to matter, it happens every day
The innocent get battered, the guilty get away

Down beneath the pavement, he'll be there tonight
He knows how to save rent, sleeping out of sight
Somewhere on a dark street, walking all alone
You will see the bad man following you home

Whoa, the bad man got away
Whoa, now someone's got to pay
Gotta pay, gotta pay, whoa
Gotta pay, gotta pay
