MudGuard: springing to Alison's defence, as she is embroiled in the situation this song describes, she is entirely qualified to request moderation and sensitivity. The events and opinions described therein are, in my opinion, too recent, emotive, sensitive and downright wrong to justify inclusion in any intelligent forum.

This is not a song about capital punishment, it is a song glorifying the culture of violence over reasoned compromise. There is no moral message contained therein, and incidentally, Wolfgang, your purchase of that IRA songbook doubtless paid for another bullet.
