The People's Cube - Political Satire

(To "Sittin' on the Dock of the Bay", with apologies to Otis Redding)



Well I get in a cab at the airport,
headin' for my home far away,
I'm tired and I'm hungry and cranky,
honkie better stay away.

I'm sittin' in the Cambridge jail,
you can bet someone's gonna pay,
I'm just sittin in the Cambridge jail
doin' my time, doin' my time.

My lousy freakin' door wouldn't open,
made it in through the back way,
Met an uppity cop in my kitchen,
they arrest me and they take me away.

I'm sittin' in the Cambridge jail,
you can bet someone's gonna pay,
I'm just sittin in the Cambridge jail
doin' my time, doin' my time.

Looks like the networks all gonna tell it my way,
that's right, he's white, he profiled me all the way.
I don't know what went wrong, I was a celebrity
I just asked for some help from my friend Barry.

I was a Hah-vahd intellek-tu-al,
indoctrinating students all day.
Now I gotta go visit the White House,
and drink a beer and go on my way.

I'm sittin' in the Cambridge jail,
you can bet someone's gonna pay,
I'm just sittin in the Cambridge jail
doin' my time, doin' my time.

Bring it on home, General!
