Cover art for Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner lyrics by Warren Zevon

"That son-of-a-bitch Van Owen blew off Roland's head." For some reason that is one of the funniest verses I have ever heard and seems like a good example of Zevon's macabre wit. The conclusion of the song, about violence as a way to achieve their goals.
