The owner of Internationalist Books in Chapel Hill, Bob Sheldon, was considered by many the cornerstone Chapel Hill’s progressive and radical scene. In 1991, someone walked into his bookstore and shot him; the murder remains unsolved. Many suspect that it was executed by the CIA.

[Verse 1]
Back in the days when the battles raged
And we thought it was nothing
A bookstore man meets the CIA
And we know
Throw me a cord and plug it in
Get the Cradle rocking
Out with the redneck pig old men
And it's gold
[Chorus]
Hair in the hole in my head
Too bad the scene is dead
Memory's in the shadow
Back in time again
[Verse 2]
And I can't forget your terrorized face
When you cried for the shameless
Wasted life, AmeriK-K-Kan
And you smiled
Said why should we run when we cannot hide?
And my flag is burnin'
We could be wrong, but that's alright
We'll rise again
[Chorus]
Hair in the hole in my head
Too bad the scene is dead
Memory's in the shadow
It's back in town again
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
Lookin' away, it's another day
And of course we love you
Radical man meets the CIA
And we said no
We'll round up the Durham H.C. kids
And the Char-Grill killers
Jesse H. coming to our Pit
All-ages show
[Chorus]
Hair in the hole in my head
Too bad the scene is dead
Memory's in the shadow
It's back in time again
