Washington On Your Side Song Lyrics
It must be nice, it must be nice
To have Washington on your side It must be nice, it must be nice To have Washington on your sideEvery action has an equal opposite reaction
Thanks to Hamilton, our cabinet’s fractured into factions Try not to crack under the stress, we’re breaking down like fractions We smack each other in the press, and we don’t print retractionsI get no satisfaction witnessing his fits of passion
The way he primps and preens and dresses like the pits of fashion Our poorest citizens, our farmers, live ration to ration As Wall Street robs ’em blind in search of chips to cash inThis prick is asking for someone to bring him to task
Somebody give me some dirt on his vacuous mask So we can, at last, unmask him I’ll pull the trigger on him, someone load the gun and cock it While we were all watching, he got Washington in his pocketIt must be nice, it must be nice
To have Washington on your side It must be nice, it must be nice To have Washington on your sideLook back at the Bill of Rights (Which I wrote!)
The ink hasn’t dried It must be nice, it must be nice To have Washington on your sideSo he’s doubled the size of the government
Wasn’t the trouble with much of our previous government size? Look in his eyes See how he lies Follow the scent of his enterprise Centralizing national credit and making American credit competitiveIf we don’t stop it, we aid and abet it
I have to resign Somebody has to stand up for the South Well, somebody has to stand up to his mouth If there’s a fire you’re trying to douse You can’t put it out from inside the houseI’m in the cabinet, I am complicit
And watching and grabbing the power and kiss it If Washington isn’t gon’ listen to disciplined dissidents This is the difference, this kid is outOh! This immigrant isn’t somebody we chose
Oh! This immigrant’s keeping us all on our toes Oh! Let’s show these Federalists what they’re up against Oh! Southern motherfucking Democratic-Republicans Oh! Now follow the money and see where it goes Oh! Because every second, the treasury grows Oh! If we follow the money and see where it leads Get in the weeds, look for the seeds of Hamilton’s misdeedsIt must be nice, it must be nice
Follow the money and see where it goes It must be nice, it must be nice The emperor has no clothesWe won’t be invisible
We won’t be denied Still, it must be nice, it must be nice To have Washington on your side
