Washington on Your Side

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
