"Feeding Bob To Beasts"

I love reading probably more than any other single activity, and usually have at least two or three books going at the same time. I think writing would be the perfect career for me if I could only figure out how to make money at it. And how to do it well.

Feeding Bob To Beasts

© 1987 Brian Hutzell


He says he wasn't involved, but I know he was there
The case is still unresolved, but no one really cares
The nosey newsmen ring to get an interview
Cause nothing else is happening to make the evening news
Bob, Bob, what did you see?
Bob, Bob, what was the time?
Bob, Bob, won't you come clean?
Bob, Bob, give us a line

Feeding Bob to beasts
Throw him to the lions
Feeding Bob to beasts
No one will give him asylum
Let him take the heat
In the name of science
Feeding Bob to beasts
Can we justify an action such as that?

They make him look like a thug, his face in a frame
They drag his name through the muck, now he's not quite the same
His friends and family stood by him at first
But one by one they fell away as things got worse and worse
Bob, Bob, what can you do?
Bob, Bob, put on your best
Bob, Bob, listen to you
Bob, Bob, give it a rest

Feeding Bob to beasts
Throw him to the lions
Feeding Bob to beasts
No one will give him asylum
Let him take the heat
In the name of science
Feeding Bob to beasts
Can we justify an action such as that?

Bob, Bob, take it to heart
Bob, Bob, you've been misused
Bob, Bob, make a new start
Bob, Bob, there's no excuse
