Cover art for Nebraska lyrics by Bruce Springsteen

Bruce's take on what creates a serial killer. In this case, 50's killer Charlie Starkweather and his girlfriend. Very straightforward in its imagery. Even though he is a stone cold killer, you can hear the pathos in the music and the lyrics. And Bruce sums up why evil things happen in our lives in the final line of the song "Well sir I guess there's just a meanness in this world."
