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
