Spoken word ballad, which appears on compilation CD, “Hurwitz in Handcuffs.” Produced by Lost Coast League, the 23 selections immortalize the arrest of Maxxam Corporation’s CEO Charles Hurwitz.
Fracas at Gate 2
Just got in in the Lear Rules may apply to some But certainly not to me
Hah, rules… I take the shortcuts Away from all the fools Can’t afford to wait with the masses You know my Golden Rule: He who has the gold, rules Do you know who I am?
Security’s radio crackled “Subject uncooperative at Gate 2” For those of us not admitted to the club No special treatment for you No special treatment for me Fracas at Gate 2
Power is an arrogance Entitlement knows no bounds Don’t expect to find your soul In the Lost & Found
The radio crackled “Subject belligerent at Gate 2” I’m here representing Maxxam Uncuff me this instant! Do you know who I am? Fracas at Gate 2
Handcuffs make it tough to strum The “I’m the Victim Here” raga Finally, the authorities got it right In this long, strange saga
Ever since the sandbox You’ve always got your way Isn’t it time to give someone else a say?
