| 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
|
| Ev’ry action has its equal, opposite reactions
|
| Thanks to Hamilton, our cab’net’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 askin' for someone to bring him to task
|
| Somebody gimme some dirt on this vacuous mass 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!
|
| 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 grabbin' at power and kissin' 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 who they’re up against!
|
| Oh!
|
| Southern motherfuckin'
|
| Democratic-Republicans!
|
| Oh!
|
| Let’s 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 |
