From the recording Luigi Mangione
In the spirit of timeless Americana murder ballads like Pretty Boy Floyd & Jesse James, this song tells the tale of Luigi Mangione from the perspective of a desperate man whose wife is battling cancer in a broken system. Echoing working class struggles, it chronicles Luigi’s fateful encounter with a healthcare CEO & Its stark acoustic arrangement & visceral chorus, "Boom, boom, boom! Lay that bastard low," capture the raw intensity of a folk tradition turning tragedy into a rallying cry.

Lyrics
One cold night just after Thanksgiving,
They say a man by the name of Luigi,
Outside of the Hilton in Midtown Manhattan,
He put three rounds in that filthy rich man.
(Chorus:)
Boom, boom, boom! Lay that bastard low!
Deny, defend, depose.
Boom, boom, boom! Go, Luigi, go!
Deny, defend, depose.
Brian Thompson was UnitedHealth's CEO.
He had a wife and kids, don't you know?
My wife's got cancer, we're drowned in debt
Who’ll care for our kids when I'm dead?...(Chorus:)
UnitedHealth gets away with robbery.
What have they done to my family?
I took out loans for the meds, loans to pay rent,
While they “Delay, Deny, Defend”...(Chorus:)
The U.S. has the lowest life expectancy.
Yet we pay more than any country.
The rich are laughing all the way to the bank.
How much more are we all gonna take?...(Chorus:)
Luigi Mangione was a lone gunman.
I’m just one guy against a system.
But if we join together and fight as one union,
Deny our Labor, and it all will end....(Chorus:)
