Sitting Here at Chick-fil-A

I don't know what Otis Redding would have thought about the Chick-fil-A controversy this week, but his song "Sitting on the Dock of the Bay" sets just the right tone.

Sittin' in the mornin' sun
Hoping for a Chick-fil-A bun
Watching today's Kiss-In
And then I watch 'em kiss away again, yeah

I'm sitting here at Chick-fil-A
Hoping the mayor don't take us away
Ooo, I'm just sittin' here at Chick-fil-A
Wastin' time

I left my home in Georgia
Headed for the 'Frisco bay
'Cause I knew I'd see the protests
Here in Cal-i-forn-e-i-ay

So I'm just gonna sit here at Chick-fil-A
Hoping the mayor don't take us away
Ooo, I'm just sittin' here at Chick-fil-A
Wastin' time

Looks like nothing's gonna change
Chick-fil-A still remains the same
It can't do what protesters tell it to do
So I guess it will stay the same, yes

Sittin' here at Chick-fil-A
It's been a long and crazy kind of day
Seein' folks both straight and gay
Try to get that sandwich their way

Now I'm just gonna sit here at Chick-fil-A
Hoping the mayor don't take us away
Ooo, I'm just sittin' here at Chick-fil-A
Wastin' time.
