1 2 3 4There's blood on the sidewalk
From someone I don't know
I step around it
So I won't get it on my shoeOn my way to work in Washington
On my way to work in Washington
On my way to work in Washington, DCMy 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 warThe truth is
I am my own enemy
But I'll buy anything
You advertise on TVOn my way to work in Washington
On my way to work in Washington
On my way to work in Washington, DCGotta make it look good
Gotta make it look good
Gotta make it look goodEvery Friday, Karen and Katy
Go to take care of babies with aids
Who were born like their mothers
Addicted to crackDrinking their bottles
Lying on their backs
Just like their fathers
Mom ain't coming backOn my way to work in Washington
On my way to work in Washington
On my way to work in Washington, DCGotta make it look good
Gotta make it look good
Gotta make it look goodGotta make it look good
Gotta make it look good
Gotta make it look goodThere's blood on the sidewalk
From someone I might know
Should I step around it
So I won't get it on my soulOn my way to work in Washington
On my way to work in Washington
On my way to work in Washington, DCGotta make it look good
Gotta make it look good
Gotta make it look good
