“ and on a liter note, word came from the abductors of Miguel John that he is alright and they are calling for a ransom of $150,000. As you may recall Miguel was kidnapped almost a week ago on his way from school and there was no idea of his status up until this morning, when the family received a letter in which…(music in)  a huge ransom……(fade)

 

(intro music)

 

One day you’re happy, next day you’re sad

One day you’re good, next day you’re bad

One day you’re here, next day you’re gone

We live to die, the reason we’re born

 

(music)

 

Just a kid walking in from school

The sun is hot but he’s walking cool

Going home to play the computer

While munching on some caviar

Doesn’t have a sister or brother

Getting anything from father and mother

The envy of the other children

Surely he’s everyone’s best friend

Living in a safe neighbourhood

Don’t know bad for every one’s good

But today is not his day

He doesn’t get to go home and play

Behind him there stalks a con man

Grabs the kid into his old van

Ties him up, bound and gagged

Takes the wheel goes real farrrr!

 

(music)

 

They realized the boy was gone

Police quickly searched all around

The whole force on one case

They searched all over the place

They pressured all criminal type

But he was nowhere in sight

Panic ran through the family

They felt a country’s sympathy

“The boy is young and innocent

Why didn’t they take me instead”

The words in the father’s broadcast

And the tears they were falling fast

“Tell us what you want we will comply,

Please, Please give us back our child”

 

(music)

One day you’re bold, one day so timid

One day you’re cold, one day so afraid

One day you deny, next day you beg

One day you stood, next day you fled!

 

(music)

 

One day you laugh, one day you cry

One day you take, one day you buy

One day you get, next day you pay

One day is night, next one is day

One time you conquer

Next time you plead

Was a time you judged

Now you’re at a stranger’s mercy!

 

How long can you take this pain?

Watch your wife go so insane!

How many lives have you destroyed for money?

Now you’re tasting your own bitter honey!

Could it be someone you cut down in the past?

How long will he let this torture last?

All you want is to see your boy back safely!

Maybe all he want is to see you beg for mercy!

 

(music)

 

But I still think he’s mad for what he’s doing!

No one should ever interfere with children!

 

And my prayer go out to the child

May he live to repress the memory

I hope that you see his smile

And you move on from this tragedy

 

Now I know things you done in the past

My dad was one who got the axe

 

And he thought about getting back at you

Some devious things ran thru his mind

Now someone else you might have cut down too

May not take it easy and not be kind!

 

(music with extensive solo)

 

This was a great tragedy!

A big box came on delivery!

Open up! Oh God! What they see!

The boy’s mutilated body!

A note put together carefully!

Saying you can keep the money!

The mother just went crazy!

There stood a mourning country!

And the killer, the son of a bitch was never caught!

It goes to show that lives just can’t be bought!

May the boy’s soul rest in peace in Heaven above!

May the killer be damned and caught and hanged!

 

(music)

 

One day you born, one day you cry

One life you live, one second you die

One day you learn, one day you tell,

One day in heaven in an eternal hell!

 

(music)

“Making the headlines today, shock waves travel across the country as the body of Miguel John was found in a box, totally mutilated in front of his home with a note from the sadistic murderer that was put together by using letters from books and newspapers, which the police have in their possession to run forensics and test for any trace of fingerprints, we send our deepest condolences to the family and in other news, two armed bandits robbed a gas station, killing..( End abrupt.)
