Raging Machine - Ballad of Luigi Lyrics

Luigi hopped a bus to NYC
Hey hey
Paid in cash, left no trail for cops to see
Oh no
Checked into a hostel on the Upper West
With a fake ID, he was looking his best oh yes
Oh, the plan was sharp, the timing tight
But a smile gave him up that fateful night
Oh, the CEO met his end so grim
And Luigi slipped into the shadows dim
On a frosty morning, Brian walked alone
Hey hey
Luigi followed close, his face like stone
Oh no
With a ghost gun ready, he made his play
Then he biked away and disappeared that day
Oh hey
Oh, the clues he left were a curious mix
A wrapper, a bottle, a ghostly trick
Oh, the chase was on, the cops were near
But Luigi's trail wasn't all too clear
A backpack here, a water there
His trail grew cold in Central Park's air
A twist of luck, a bold mistake
But his freedom soon was his to forsake
In a Pennsylvania town, at Mickey D's
Hey hey
An employee saw his face and called police
Oh yes
With a fake ID and a gun in tow
Luigi's capture was the final blow,
Oh no
Oh, the story's told of his daring deed
Was it justice served or driven by greed
Oh, the tale lives on in the city's lore
Of a man whose vengeance opened the door
Luigi Mangione, what have you done
A path of shadows, a life on the run
Oh, a tale of woe and a legacy grim
Of a man who fought, but the odds beat him
