Violent Femmes – Dahmer Is Dead

Dahmer is Dead
Dahmer is Dead.
A broomstick bashed him upside his head.
Upside the head, upside the head.

Bloody broomstick.
Dahmer is dead.
Am I supposed to feel outrage?
Am I supposed to feel sorrow?

Jeffery Dahmer has no right tomorrow.
Dahmer is Dead
Dahmer is Dead
A broomstick bashed him upside his head.

Dahmer is Dead
Dahmer is Dead
Bloody broomstick.
Dahmer is Dead.

Along with a broomstick upside his head.
Along with broomstick.
Dahmer is dead.

    General CommentWow! Yea...all those people he killed, did they deserve it? I never in my life thought i would view such words...poor Dahmer. You crazies that feel remorce for a fucking serial killer...you must be crazy liberals that are against capitol punishment. I really hope that you are just trying to get a rise out of people, and if not then i pitty you. This is a great song because he gets his head bashed in by a broomstick! Great guitar also! By the way the CD is called Hot Rocks!!!

    General CommentIn the early morning hours of May 30, 1991, 14-year-old Konerak Sinthasomphone (by chance, the younger brother of the boy whom Dahmer had molested) was discovered on the street, wandering naked, heavily under the influence of drugs and bleeding from his rectum. Two young women from the neighborhood found the dazed boy and called 911. Dahmer chased his victim down and tried to take him away, but the women stopped him.[29] Dahmer told police that Sinthasomphone was his 19-year-old boyfriend, and that they had an argument while drinking. Against the protests of the two women who had called 911, police turned him over to Dahmer. They later reported smelling a strange scent while inside Dahmer's apartment, but did not investigate it. The smell was the body of Tony Hughes, Dahmer's previous victim, decomposing in the bedroom. The two policemen failed to run a background check that would have revealed that Dahmer was a convicted sex offender and child molester still under probation.[30] The officers laughed about the incident, one joking that his partner was "going to get deloused."[31] Later that night, Dahmer killed and dismembered Sinthasomphone, keeping his skull as a souvenir. Poor Dahmer...

    General CommentYes, poor Dahmer. You really shouldn't talk about things you don't know. Jeffrey was very different from your average serial killer. And even if he was a completely evil demon (which he wasn't) he didn't desreve to die by some idiot who thought he was jesus.
    By the way what cd is this on?

    General CommentI agree with weather woman, it so sovery unfortunate that he had to die the way the he did . Especially because, he didn't even get to fufill one last very important mission, which is ridding the world of ridiculous psycotic idiot's such as your self.
