[Maceman]

Children everywhere, when you shoot at bad men, shoot at me

Remember when kids played with toy guns, and when a sweet popular song could have such lyrics?

"This is All I Ask" -- Tony Bennett

"This is All I Ask" -- Tony Bennett

My favorite version is by John Gary. The guy had a three-octave range.

In saner times, why would literally dozens of the most loved singers of the last 60 years record such disgusting lyrics?

Different versions of the awful lyrics

Mentally balanced adults would deem this a sad non-issue.
