"For What It's Worth"
by Trudi Marrapodi

(to the tune of "For What It's Worth" by Buffalo Springfield)

There's something happening here
What it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a fax over there
Telling me I got to beware

Think it's time we stopped--hey--what's that sound?
Everybody knows this guy's a clown

There's battle lines being drawn
Try to do right, Cinquanta says you're wrong
Young skaters speakin' their minds
Gettin' so much resistance, kicks in the behind

Think it's time we stopped--hey--what's that sound?
Everybody knows this guy's a clown

What a field day for Detroit
A thousand fans and they're distraught
They won't see Todd, won't see no Michelle
Because the ISU prez told 'em to go to hell

Think it's time we stopped--hey--what's that sound?
Everybody knows this guy's a clown

Paranoia strikes deep
Into your skates it will creep
Cinquanta changes his mind every day
Step out of line--he'll come and take you away

Think it's time we stopped--hey--what's that sound?
Everybody knows this guy's a clown!
