Yea I'm out that state house, now I'm in the Capital
right next to Rubio, but I'll be blue forever
I'm the new Kennedy, and ... since I made it here
I can make it anywhere, yea, they love me everywhere
I used to be a lawyer, all of my constituents
right up there in MoCo, pull me back to that election
Put it in my comment box, Rockville Main Street
catch me in the Metro like a lobbyist with them briefcase
Cruisin' down 16th, high-tech escort drivin' so slow, secret service around me
Me, I'm a liberal, reppin up that donkey, Now I'm in committee, and I got my bills
with me Say what's up the Leahy, still fixin my tie
sittin' court side, Scalia givin me high five Easy incumbency, but there's no
guarantee Tell by my attitude that I most definitely
work in....
D.C., walls where bills come but never do pass
There's nothin' that gets done Now you're in DC
These streets will make you feel so slow Big earmarks will annoy you
Let's hear it for D.C., DC, DC
Catch me at the podium, committee is moving so slow,
Crap, the first draft just got killed in standing committee, yo
But I'm independent, I don't deal with party woes
I got a gang of assistants, tryin' to get my big graft though
Welcome, scandal town, pretty assistants everywhere
My every step followed, watchdogs running here and there
Reporters, journalists, cameras, airwaves Not for outsiders, they act like they
forget how to think 10 square miles, along the Potomac
City, it's a pity, journalists just make me so sick
Me, I got an office, but I'm no Clinton, No more Lewinskys, there'll be a feeding
frenzy Please don't impeach me,
I'll just use the filibuster, won't be cloture
Thank you Democrats, long live Obama Long live the prez yo, I'm from the
nation's capital that's in...
D.C., long halls filled with power abuse, There's nothin' you can do
That people won't hear 'bout, The watchdogs are everywhere
The scandals will shock you Let's hear it for D.C., D.C., D.C.
Deficit is rising, people need jobs so they can boost the economy, now
they're formin' street mobs streets lined with protesters, filled with
discontent waiting for Republicans to pass their
unemployment Caught up in the moment, now I'm in the
public eye Committee's stallin' this bill but I just
don't know why Country of deficit, it's a pity we're in
debt, Good senators gone bad, the city's filled
with them A senator took a bribe, now he's in fed
prison, Everybody judged him, just like a court
case New to Congress, seems like you're a
rookie Wanna bet on the right horse? Better call
your *** Came here from Harvard, future lookin' so bright
Rank-and-file, committee chairs, addicted
to the limelight media followin', got you in big doodoo
The bills never pass, better slip you some mamoo (money)
D.C., marble jungle where voices are heard,
There's a bit you can do, If you have the time.
The budget will blow your mind, People will inspire you
Let's hear it for D.C., D.C., D.C.
One pen in the air for the big bill Street lights, big dreams, all lookin'
serious No place in the world that could compare
Put your pens in the air Everybody say pa--ss, pa--ss
D.C., walls where bills come but never do pass
There's nothin' that gets done Now you're in DC
These streets will make you feel so slow Big earmarks will annoy you
Let's hear it for D.C., DC, DC
