My town 'tis of thee
Auctioning democracy
A vote for him might count for me
But you can't prove a thing
It's funny, my position here
Mouthpiece for the men of fear
My track record was more than clear
And still they made me king
[Chorus]
For the right price, justice throws her blindfold down
And you can find her selling her dirty sheets
With the rest of the who*es on the streets of my town
My friend Jesus puts a man to shame
The way he bears his family name
He's always helped me just the same
But, I don't know why he bothers
‘Cause I remember when we talked that night
And I asked him about wrong and right
He said, “Truth is not our war to fight
When we have such powerful fathers”
[Chorus]
These are the streets of my town
Repeat after me, repeat after me, repeat after me repeat after me (3x)
We hold these truths self-evident, that men are created dogs
Endowed with life by the president, who allows them the right to play along
See, I thought you folks would see right through
But the men I work for always knew
That I just had to make up a word or two
To keep you ba*tards distracted
[Chorus] x2
These are the streets of my town
These are the streets, these are the streets of my town
These are the streets, these are my streets
These are my streets, these are my streets…
And my town
