Lyrics:

There’s a House for sale in Washington DC
there’s a House for sale
it’s a fantastic opportunity
it comes with oil reserves under foreign sands
fat-cat suits with glad hands
private rights to public lands
in Washington DC.

There’s a House for sale in Washington DC
and it’s open-house at this deluxe property
you can wine and dine, give favors get treats
there’s no need to be discreet
you can close the deal on K Street
in Washington DC.

This House is zoned for business.

There’s a House for sale in Washington DC
it’s a heritage address with unique amenities
you can bust a Union, steal a vote
fill your gut with pork-barrel bloat
keep a hopeless war afloat
in Washington DC.

Campaign donations across the nation
greasing the skids for privatization
it’s a twenty-first century revolution
highest bidder wins the constitution
get the Bill Of Rights in your cross-hair sights
squeeze the trigger and shoot out the lights
in Washington DC.
