City Council Lyrics

City officials lie on and on again

Down in my city, the rent has gone up again

Hide behind false words no more

What the fuck do you take us for



Council - you bastards control the waterfront

Don't let them tear you down



Tried to protest, it seems all in vain

This rent increase I can't afford to pay

The please I live is hip today

In comes the rich the poor has to go away



Down at city hall I state my case

The city council has all been paid

They stand for the people, so they say

You filthy liars, I hope you rot in hell



Council - you bastards control the waterfront

Don't let them tear you down



Rent control petitions and off to court we go

The judge takes our side, our voice has been heard

This city knows of the council's illegal ways

This working man just won't go away
