A new one, easier than my other lyrics:

The local Search modifier was +1 and I made my Guns roll so the other guy had to make HT rolls.

All of a sudden I saw sheriff John Brown
Aiming to shoot me down,
So I shot - I shot - I shot him down...
I Shot the Sheriff ( Could be something else, but that was my first thought).

There is only one Science! skill, increasing it reduces all vision penalties.

It's been done in (3rd Ed.) GURPS Robots:

Great Vow ("Do not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm") [-15] (Complexity 5 program)

Great Vow ("Obey the orders given by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law") [-15] (Complexity 5 program)

The Third Law ("Protect own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law") "is worth no points, since it's not an advantage at all." (Complexity 2 program)

Nope. The town's Search modifier is important. To be extra nerdy, I looked up the size of the town at the time of the song's copyright. It has grown rapidly since then, now being a +3, when it was +1, almost +2 at the time of copyright.
