Harry Chapin was an awesome songwriter, but he was also a terrific storyteller. While this song may not really have any meaning (and maybe it does), it is a very gripping and disturbing story. An interesting irony included in this song is that the lying mayor is mayor of Candor, which is another word for truth.
