**Description:**
*"The Ballad of Black Trenchcoats" is a morbidly jaunty sea shanty-style satire, twisting the grim infamy of Columbine into a grotesque parody of true crime sensationalism. With its gallows-humor rhymes and rollicking rhythm, the song mocks the media circus, copycat glorification, and society's voyeuristic appetite for tragedy—all while underscoring how little has changed. The accordion's final wheeze leaves a bitter aftertaste, like history sighing before it repeats itself.*
*(Not a celebration. A condemnation dressed in dark comedy.)*
Would you like any tweaks to the tone or focus?
