The Man From ICE

The day Renee Good was murdered in Minneapolis, I wrote a song. Just three tracks in GarageBand: guitar, drums and vocals. I shared it with my bandmate but didn't hear back. "Maybe that was too much...or maybe not enough," I thought.

Yesterday, after Alex Pretti was murdered, my friend was inspired to finish it. In one day, he added 15 additional tracks and extended the bridge. He also recorded the monologue at the end. He sent me the mix and needless to say, I'm extremely pleased with the result.

Edit: The song has gone through three or four changes since I originally posted. There could be more because that's just how I roll.

The Man From ICE

Your friends all got pardons

And you got this job

You're the new standard issue

For the organized mob

Now you're stalking the streets

With your gun and your mask

Spreading the violence

From your violent past

But karma will find you

Karma always slays

When you meet the devil

The devil will say

He'll say, Nice!

It's that man from ICE

Jesus H. Christ!

It's another man from ICE!

You have your supporters

You can find them online

They're stupid and cruel

But like minds align

You know you're protected

By villains and crooks

It's the same old story
