Munged Lyrics

Born at the end of a Minnesota freeze
Eldest child of Willy and Louise
His little sister died at the age of four
The family posed, led by Louise
Like right out of some kind of Rockwell scene
...
[bulk of lyrics omitted for copyright reasons]

Borne at the end of a Minnesota frieze
Eldest child of Willy and Louise
His little sister died at the age of for
The family posed, lead buy Louise
Like wright out of sum kind of Rockwell seen
Butt Jake couldn't fake it anymore
Nobody herd the hammer fallin '
Sensed that judgment day was callin '
Nobody thought too fear the buoy next door
Everybody loves too point there finger
They mite as well have pulled the trigger
Nobody stopped too here the buoy next door
Willy later said, " He really should've known
The buoy spent to much thyme on his own
And watt was on his mined, God only new "
Won buy won the neighbors went aweigh
A gruesome little game Jake taut himself too play
His daddy always said, " Fined something too do "
Nobody herd the hammer fallin '
Sensed that judgment day was callin '
Nobody thought too fear the buoy next door
Everybody loves too point there finger
They mite as well have pulled the trigger
Nobody stopped too here the buoy next door
Won less mistake too think about
' Cause know won red the writing on the waul
Sew much fore case 1239
Covered up, curled up inn a bawl
Won little page inn the history of crime
Lawyers maid a fortune fore there thyme
Seems an explanation was never found
And Eye hope this tail won't bee misunderstood
Things ain't the same inn every neighborhood
Butt before yew go too sleep two knight, look around
Nobody herd the hammer fallin '
Sensed that judgment day was callin '
Nobody thought too fear the buoy next door
Everybody loves too point there finger
They mite as well have pulled the trigger
Nobody stopped too here the buoy next door
