There's blood on the sidewalk
From someone I don't know
I step around it
So I won't get it on my shoe
On my way to work in Washington
On my way to work in Washington
On my way to work in Washington, DC
My name is America, but I pronounced it George
Some people think I'm rich
But I am mostly poor
And I cover it up to get you to fight in my war
The truth is
I am my own enemy
But I'll buy anything
You advertise on TV
On my way to work in Washington
On my way to work in Washington
On my way to work in Washington, DC
Gotta make it look good
Gotta make it look good
Gotta make it look good
Every Friday, Karen and Katy
Go to take care of babies with aids
Who were born like their mothers
Addicted to crack
Drinking their bottles
Lying on their backs
Just like their fathers
Mom ain't coming back
On my way to work in Washington
On my way to work in Washington
On my way to work in Washington, DC
Gotta make it look good
Gotta make it look good
Gotta make it look good
Gotta make it look good
Gotta make it look good
Gotta make it look good
There's blood on the sidewalk
From someone I might know
Should I step around it
So I won't get it on my soul
On my way to work in Washington
On my way to work in Washington
On my way to work in Washington, DC
Gotta make it look good
Gotta make it look good
Gotta make it look good
