I've always wanted to run an adventure based on this song. My idea is that the song is the text of a message that a noble's son has sent him, and the noble is the PCs' patron.
It might go like this, as long as you pronounce Efate "eff art ee", like the Polynesian island.
Well I went home with a waitress
I was gambling on Efate
Send lawyers guns and money
There are armies on Efate
Hey! send lawyers guns and money
– Glenn
the way I always do
how was I to know
she was Ine Givar too?
I took a little risk
Now I'm between a rock and a hard place
and I'm down on my luck
just a little down on my luck
Dad get me out of this
These are desperate men
Gonna kick those psikies' asses
Like they did in 1110
Da-ad – get me out of this one
