A crowd of citizens, both for and against the death penalty, were gathered for a vigil prior to the Texas execution of convicted killer Billy Hughes Jr. This execution marked the seventh of the month, the 117th of George W. Bush's tenure. Suddenly, reports the Houston Press, when "six cheerleaders and a makeshift marching band came prancing around the corner belting out 'When the Saints Come Marching In,' it was clear that number 117 was not routine. In pigtails, letter sweaters and red-pleated skirts, the fresh-faced drill team chanted, "We are Texas" and "Go, George, Go." As the antis struggled to maintain their circle vigil, the pros turned into fans at a football game." Here is what they shouted: "Fire up, fire up Fire up, and up And up and up and up! Two bits, four bits, six bits, a dollar All for the death penalty stand up and holler! P, P-O, P-O-W-E-R We've got power Woo! Killing power! The pros were saying, "We didn't do this !" Execute, execute, sis, boom, bah Lethal injection, rah, rah, rah! Florida oranges, Texas cactus We kill convicts just for practice! Kill 'em to the left Kill 'em to the right Here in Texas We kill 'em every night! The antis were saying, "We didn't do this !" We're number one, can't be number two If you don't agree with us, we'll kill you too Texas is good, Texas is great We kill more than any other state! George, George, he's our man If he can't kill 'em, no one can Who's the best on the killing scene? George Bush, he's a killing machine! He's a killing machine! He's a killing machine! A nearby scoreboard read, "George 117--Jeb 2." Gimme a "D" Gimme an "E" Gimme an "A" Gimme a "T" Gimme an "H" What's that spell? Death! Pardons are for wimps! Pardons are for wimps! A member of the group was heard to say, "Desperate times call for desperate measures."
