Cell Block Tango (He Had it Comin')

He had it coming, he had it coming
He only had himself to blame
If you'd have been there, if you'd have seen it
I betcha you would have done the same


*******************************************

Read an article in the paper while at my mom's about a woman who was sentenced 50 years to life for murdering her husband. A tragic story. A person was dead and another life wasted. But as I read her story, I kept hearing music from Chicago...

The woman found out her husband had been cheating on her and was devastated. She bought a gun so she could kill herself. She wandered the house, trying to find the best place to do this. First she walked into the kitchen and looked around. She had just cleaned it and didn't want to get it all messy. She wandered into the living room. No didn't want to ruin the couch. She also bypassed the bathroom and guest room. This was a real dilemma. She was so miserable and angst ridden and had no where to kill herself.

She then wandered into the bedroom. She saw her husband sleeping in their bed and turned her grief-stricken gun hand on him. She then told the court, "He was lying there like he didn't have a care in the world and I shot him."

They had it comin', they had it comin'
They had it comin' all along
'Cause if they used us and they abused us
How could they tell us that we were wrong?

He had it coming, he had it coming
He only had himself to blame
If you'd have been there, if you'd have seen it
I betcha you would have done the same
