Did You Know?

Interesting facts and trivia about The Royal Scam. By Songfacts®.

This is a song about people from Puerto Rico who immigrated to New York in the '50s and '60s hoping to secure the American Dream only to find discrimination and hate from the native population.

The album cover of The Royal Scam features a homeless man laying on a bench. Behind him are monolithic skyscrapers topped with the snarling heads of a wolf, snake, alligator and bear. This dark, eerie cover sets the stage for a cynical album.
