Give me this and I'll getcha that.
Send it here and I'll grease your fat.
All about the money in this town.
The DC Shakedown.

Pass a law, sign a bill.
Call the press, explain the deal.
Give a whine, give a howl.
The DC Shakedown.

Tell everbody they've lost their way.
Give em all hope bout better days.
Tell em they were lost, now they're found.
The DC Shakedown.

The place for bribes to hide.
Where they whine, where they cry.
Where they lie, it's just not right. 
This ain't no star spangled night.


Pocket the cash, clean it real good.
Spread a little round the neighborhood.
Sound waves got propaganda sounds.
The DC Shakedown.
