Story Behind The Song
When in Hawaii I really saw this crazy looking guy on a Harley with a crazy mask at The Valley of the Temples. He inspired the song.
Song Description
Many hawaiian's seem to be understandably upset that other American's of non-hawaiian descent are displacing the original island inhabitants out of the nice area- and this hawiian motorcycle shawman is liberating their ancestor's souls.

Lyrics
We were cruising oahu am, c, am, g, am ,c am e
from the comfort of a
red convertable
they were surfin'
on the north shore
swimming in the sands
of wiamaia bay
the hawiian motorcycle shaman am, g
drove by everone
long black leather for hair
and a mask from a dark sun
on his big black harley
chasing down the big guns
big money slavedriver,
liberating lost souls
in the valley of the temples
robin hood on his motorcycle
sets the oppressed generations free
the hawiian motorcycle shaman am, g
drove by everone
long black leather for hair
and a mask from a dark sun
on his big black harley
chasing down the big guns
big money slavedriver,
when he drove by on his harley
long black leather hair
black mask with studs and white stipes
the hawiian motorcycle shaman am, g
drove by everone
long black leather for hair
and a mask from a dark sun
on his big black harley
chasing down the big guns
big money slavedriver,
you better go run
