Washington On Your Side Song Lyrics
It must be nice, it must be niceTo have Washington on your sideIt must be nice, it must be niceTo have Washington on your side
Every action has an equal opposite reactionThanks to Hamilton, our cabinet’s fractured into factionsTry not to crack under the stress, we’re breaking down like fractionsWe smack each other in the press, and we don’t print retractions
I get no satisfaction witnessing his fits of passionThe way he primps and preens and dresses like the pits of fashionOur poorest citizens, our farmers, live ration to rationAs Wall Street robs ’em blind in search of chips to cash in
This prick is asking for someone to bring him to taskSomebody give me some dirt on his vacuous maskSo we can, at last, unmask himI’ll pull the trigger on him, someone load the gun and cock itWhile we were all watching, he got Washington in his pocket
It must be nice, it must be niceTo have Washington on your sideIt must be nice, it must be niceTo have Washington on your side
Look back at the Bill of Rights (Which I wrote!)The ink hasn’t driedIt must be nice, it must be niceTo have Washington on your side
So he’s doubled the size of the governmentWasn’t the trouble with much of our previous government size?Look in his eyesSee how he liesFollow the scent of his enterpriseCentralizing national credit and making American credit competitive
If we don’t stop it, we aid and abet itI have to resignSomebody has to stand up for the SouthWell, somebody has to stand up to his mouthIf there’s a fire you’re trying to douseYou can’t put it out from inside the house
I’m in the cabinet, I am complicitAnd watching and grabbing the power and kiss itIf Washington isn’t gon’ listen to disciplined dissidentsThis is the difference, this kid is out
Oh! This immigrant isn’t somebody we choseOh! This immigrant’s keeping us all on our toesOh! Let’s show these Federalists what they’re up againstOh! Southern motherfucking Democratic-RepublicansOh! Now follow the money and see where it goesOh! Because every second, the treasury growsOh! If we follow the money and see where it leadsGet in the weeds, look for the seeds of Hamilton’s misdeeds
It must be nice, it must be niceFollow the money and see where it goesIt must be nice, it must be niceThe emperor has no clothes
We won’t be invisibleWe won’t be deniedStill, it must be nice, it must be niceTo have Washington on your side
