Well, i enjoy elections just like catchin' staph infections
if i take time for reflection i don't like what i'm detectin'
so i scrambled and i gambled and i lost more than i won
but then when i was ramblin' i seen what's goin' on-
what's goin' on in Washington

What's goin' on in Washington, boy?
what have they done in Washington?
a change is gonna come to Washington, boy
what's goin' on in Washington?

Now the garbage men's on strike again that's why i like recyclin'
blame it on the Republicans and Conan the Barbarian
then fear was felt, the hand was dealt, it hit below the Bible Belt
they're sheltered from their deadly sins when they cheer on their Redskins-
they have their fun in Washington

What's goin' on in Washington, boy?
what have they done in Washington?
let's throw out the bums in Washington, boy
what's goin' on in Washington?

When they talk about democracy it's actually hypocrisy
if ya listen to Barack ya see, it all sounds like a crock to me
in Georgetown brownstones they wish that they was down-home
they wanna clone the home bums but they ain't no green thumbs-
it ain't no pun in Washington

What's goin' on in Washington, boy?
what have they done in Washington?
what about the slums in Washington, boy?
what's goin' on in Washington?

So yer paranoid, yer unemployed, no healthcare for yer hemorroids
the programs for yer girls and boys have all been declared null and void
subliminal criminals were singin' from their hymnals
and a million villains made a killin' sellin' pills to children-
they get spun in Washington

What's goin' on in Washington, boy?
what have they done in Washington?
let's clean up the scum in Washington, boy
what's goin' on in Washington?

When the new anarchist attitudes hit the lower latitudes
their democratic platitudes will be battered black and blue
they deny the bloodlettin' like the settin' of the sun
but they might be forgettin' once the damage has been done-
we'll take our guns to Washington

What's goin' on in Washington, boy?
what have they done in Washington?
now they better fuckin' run from Washington, boy
what's goin' on in Washington?
