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 and opposite reaction
Thanks to Hamilton our cabinets 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 watching witnessing his fits of passion
The way he primes and preps and dresses like the pits a fashion
Our poor citizens, our farmers live ration to ration
As Wall Street robs him blind in search of chips to cash in
This prick is asking for someone to bring him to task
Someone give me some dirt on this vacuous mass
So we can at least unmask him
I'll pull the trigger on him, someone load the gun and cock it
As 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 much 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 if we aid and abet
I have to resign
Somebody has to stand up for the south
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 in watching him grabbing at power and kissing it
If Washington isn't going to 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 who these federalist who they're up against
Oh!
Southern motherfucking Democratic Republicans!
Oh!
we follow the money and see where goes
Oh!
Because every second the treasury grows
Oh!
If we follow the money and see where it leads
Get in the weeds 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
