LYRICS :
THE TRUE HISTORY OF CAMBRIDGE Vol. 1

1
Well welcome to Cambridge.......Den of Iniquity Come take my little tour.....Thru the bowels of the city Like a Greek tragedy........Money, power and sex Start by thinking Oedipus......Its not complex She's in the mood to be screwed......Her Crimson son is the dude.......She's Cambridge-town Mass

2
In case you hadn't heard......Just take it from me Some funky shis been happenin' Down thru history Who's that livin' in rent control, None other than the Mayor Savin' up his money, Just don't seem fair But it's OK......Cause he's black and gay......Hey....in Cambridge-town

3
They're so well-meanin'. They know what's good for you, Wen every town got cable, Cambr wuldn't let it thru What it all come down to, Is not what it appears, Promotin' their agenda, They made the people wait for years Cause their P C panel......Wouldn't let Playboy Channel......In Cambridge-town

4
You like Necco wafers........You like the peanut man But if you like tobacco.....Or have conservative plans They wont abide your attitude, Or your dissident voice Just write up their statutes, That give u no choice Fill you full of dread......Mize well be dead......in Cambridge-town

5
U come back from travellin', Can't find your key, Try to get into ure own damn home, Cops think you're on a spree Put your hands behind you ole man, You're comin' with me, Said the white cop to the black prof, You didn't say please Open up the Gates.....Let out the hate......In Cambridge-town

6
What about MIT... .'lotta smart people there, Got their own nuclear reactor, Down the street from my square They say we're not in danger, If somthin' goes wrong, But they bought a whole bunch of Iodine, n' plan to be long gone When the big one blows....We'll be hunkered down God knows....In Cambridge-town

We're almost at the end of our tour.....I have but one question to a—s---k you.

7
Have you pahked yah cah......in Hahvad Yahd Sounds funny when you say it.....But parkin' there's a bitch, it's really hard.....They just want your money....When you're Beantown bound.....They take away parkin' places, Make you drive round n' round......Make you burn your gas.......Welcome to Cambridge.........You wonder where
you're at.....No need to ask.........A ticket on your glass........As they tow your ass........You know, you know, you know .......you're in Cambridge-town Mass Thanks everyone for comin' Have a nice day folks (the end)
