Now Washington, DC's
|
A funny little town
|
The further you look into it
|
The further things stick out
|
|
You oughta be ashamed
|
You oughta be destroyed
|
I'll chop you into little bits
|
And feed you to my dogs
|
|
Well well well well well
|
What have we got here?
|
What have we got now?
|
Hey hey hey hey hey
|
Twistin' in the wind
|
Twistin' all night long
|
|
Now can you picture this?
|
A taste of what will be
|
The weatherman is wrong again
|
It looks like rain to me
|
|
I heard the whistle blow
|
The train has jumped the track
|
The mighty engine's outa gas
|
Bureaucratic heart attack
|
|
My sister likes the boys
|
They kinda like her, too
|
My mama says, "Be careful"
|
Sister says, "Now, that ain't cool"
|
|
My daddy fell in love
|
Down at the factory
|
And me, I like to sit around
|
Get high, and watch TV
|
|
Well well well well well
|
What have we got here?
|
What have we got now?
|
Hey hey hey hey hey
|
Twistin' in the wind
|
Twistin' all night long
|
|
Now I can take a joke
|
I'm laughin' at myself
|
I faked my way through college
|
And I faked my way through sex
|
|
I've been falling down too long
|
I've been bangin' up my head
|
And if I could stay on my feet
|
I'd prob'ly go right back again
|
|
Now Harry's got a gun
|
And he just turned fourteen
|
He dresses like a gangster
|
And he's livin' on the street
|
|
They kicked him in the balls
|
They shaved off all his hair
|
They put a current through his head
|
And left him lyin' there
|
|
Well well well well well
|
What have we got here?
|
What have we got now?
|
Hey hey hey hey hey
|
Twistin' in the wind
|
Twistin' all night long
|
|
They say that crime don't pay
|
The judge does not agree
|
'Cause if you got the money
|
He will surely set you free
|
|
I'll watch you burn in hell
|
I'll see you in your grave
|
I'd like to watch you suffer for
|
The evil that you made
|
|
Hi-dee hi-dee ho
|
What a funny clown
|
The fat man he fell off the wall
|
And he can't get up again
|
|
It's time to say goodbye
|
It's time to say goodnight
|
Whoever is the last one out
|
Well, please turn out the light
|
