about

A country gospel tune about dealing with the very worst villain.

lyrics

Something should be punished for making her cry.
Something cruel had made her cry.
If I only knew what it was.
Was it God?
Vast and high like a rainbow.
Sad and deep like when the organ plays.
You must remember this.
You've got to understand.
Yes, I'll kill it. I'll make it cry.
Even if it's God, I'll make God cry.
I'll kill him. I'll kill God,
and not be sorry.

(distilled from the short story “Boy on a Train,” by Ralph Waldo Ellison)
