Washington on Your Side

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 side
 Every 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 retractions
 I 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 in
 This 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 pocket
 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 side
 Look 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 side
 So 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 competitive
 If 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 house
 I'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 out
 Oh! 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 misdeeds
 It 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 clothes
 We won't be invisible
 We won't be denied
 Still, it must be nice, it must be nice
 To have Washington on your side
