    *Oooooohhhh

    There once was a lad with a bike and pack

    He sure was a handsome Jack

    Hopped on a bus from the south

    Narry a peep or a word from his mouth

    Arrived in the city with a smile and a plan

    He was dead set on getting his man

    He knew where to go, he knew where to be

    He was going down in history

    Oooohh soon will the class war come, just as soon as the singin’ is done Cooome now and sing along, add your voices to the song Oooohhh soon will the class war come, just as soon as the singin’ is done Cooome now and sing along, add your voices to the song

    Everyone knows, Evil rises before the sun

    That’s just how it goes, so in the dark Jack grabbed his gun

    A short train downtown then he ascended from the escalator

    He was on a mission to kill that damned death trader!

    It was dark and cold December morn

    Jack needed something caffeinated and warm

    Coffee in his cup, determination in his eyes

    He marched off ready to deliver our villain their to their demise!

    Oooohh soon will the class war come, just as soon as the singin’ is done Cooome now and sing along, add your voices to the song Oooohhh soon will the class war come, just as soon as the singin’ is done Cooome now and sing along, add your voices to the song*

    Jack made his way to the door

    That’s where a devil would die on the floor

    Wearing a smile behind his mask

    Everything was in place to finish his task

    He scratched an itch with his trigger finger and the devil got his due

    But our hero didn’t linger, feet to the pedals and away he flew!

    Other demons cried but the the people cheer

    Death’s minions hid yet the people never felt freer!

    Oooohh soon will the class war come, just as soon as the singin’ is done Cooome now and sing along, add your voices to the song Oooohhh soon will the class war come, just as soon as the singin’ is done Cooome now and sing along, add your voices to the song*

    Handsome Jack left his mark: DELAY! DENY! DEPOSE!

    With all that kindling it sure did spark: DELAY! DENY! DEPOSE!

    Now we know those devils bleed just like rest of us: DELAY! DENY! DEPOSE!

    Mimicry is a compliment paid by the best of us: DELAY! DENY! DEPOSE!

    Where did he go, I won’t say: DELAY! DENY! DEPOSE!

    But he put on a show, and we’ve all got a role to play: DELAY! DENY! DEPOSE!

    It’s never easy but it can be fun, come now and do your part: DELAY! DENY! DEPOSE!

    Don’t be sad the singin’ is done, this is just the start! DELAY! DENY! DEPOSE!

    Sorry formatting is bad because I’m on my phone

      Notes for improvement (no pun intended)

      1. Make the syllables of each line more consistent
      2. Maybe another verse with more of the CEOs misdeeds
      3. Maybe another verse with more of the cops fucking up

      I’m not really musically or lyrically talented, so please more artistic folks, blob-help
