It reached number 63 on the Billboard charts. The song 's lyrics tell the story of a drug bust at Bard College ( named `` Annandale '' in the lyrics after its location ) while both were students there, and how a female acquaintance had inadvertently betrayed them to `` Daddy Gee '' ( G. Gordon Liddy, then the local prosecutor ). The upshot is that the singer vows he is `` never going back '' to the college until `` California tumbles into the sea.
