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 d.c.



my name is america but i pronounced it george

some people think i am 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 d.c.



got to make it look good

got to make it look good



every friday karen and kathy

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 d.c.



got to 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 d.c
