Lyrics
IF THE WALLS COULD TALK (ON CAPITOL HILL)
(VERSE ONE)
Capitol Hill, Washington, D.C.
the root of power and greed
Not intended to be what it has become,
now it's a Capitol of dirty deeds
Capitol Hill, Washington D.C
the natural habitat of sinners
It's not a place for the faint of heart,
just crooked politicians and lawyers.
(CHORUS)
If the walls cold talk on Capital Hill,
what do you think they would say
Would they say it's a place of honor
or say it's a place worst then hell
If the walls on Capitol Hell
could tell us all they know
Would they say the politicians have our interest at heart
or say we're getting a lot of snow.
(VERSE TWO)
Capitol Hill, Washington D.C.
it's where they wheel and deal
It's where many promises are broken
a place so n\unreal
Capitol Hill, Washington D.C.,
where lobbyist have their way
As long as there are votes for sale,
they'll get what they want any day.
(CHORUS)
(VERSE THREE)
The people of D.C., will they have it made
Unlike you and me, they're very well paid
They don't know what its like to be middle class
The don't know how it feels to always come last
They don't worry, they have special plans
When sick, they don't stand in line
So how can they say they truly feel our pain
When we're the ones who suffer and their the ones that gain.
(CHORUS)
