Alas, another occasion for political discourse through song: Dallas in the news for a shooting. The Lyrics here at Mudcat have some cowboy songs, and one or two to do with Deep Ellum, and of course Kennedy/Oswald, but now, police officers. Will there be more song entries? During a peaceful protest last night shots rang out, five police officers dead, others wounded, one civilian wounded.

The nature of the assault, targeting police, was enacted by four individuals triangulating on the crowed from tall buildings. Will these new songs be about civilians, police, or will they be about guns? Keep in mind, there's already a song called The World Turned Upside Down.
