Lyrics Washington D.C. - Gil Scott-Heron

Thank you for the song, for your accomodation capital
The accomodation that we come throughout a song it's called, Washington D.C.
And just as you think, you heard it all that come with a little bit force
When you hear this, soon i'll keep improve, say
Symbols of democracy, pinned up against the coast
Outhouse of bureaucracy, surrounded by a moat
Citizens of poverty are barely out of sight
Overlords escape their evening with brothers of the night
Morning come and bring the tourists, craning rubber necks
Catch a glimpse of the cowboy making the world a nervous wreck
It's a mass of irony for all the world to see
It's the nation's capital, it's Washington D.C.
It's the nation's capital
It's the nation's capital
It's the nation's capital, it's Washington D.C.
(Mmmh)
May not have the glitter or the glamour of L.A.
May not have the history or the intrigue of Pompeii
But when it comes to making music, and sure enough making news
People who just don't make sense and people making do
It's a ball of contradictions, pulling different ways
Between the folks who come and go, and one's who've got to stay
It's a mass of irony for all the world to see
It's the nation's capital, it's Washington D.C.
It's the nation's capital
It's the nation's capital
I'm talking about the capital, it's Washington D.C.
Seems to me, it's still in light time people knifed up on 14th street
Makes me feel it's always the right time for them people
Showing up and coming clean
Did make the one seem kind of numb
Again, it's the nation's capital
It's the nation's capital
I'm talking about the capital, it's Washington D.C.
(Mmh)
Symbols of democracy, pinned up against the coast
Outhouse of bureaucracy, surrounded by a moat
Citizens of poverty are barely out of sight
Overlords escape here in the brothers of the night
Morning come and bring the tourists, craning rubber necks
Catch a glimpse of the cowboy making the world a nervous wreck
It's a mass of irony for all the world to see
It's the nation's capital, it's Washington D.C.
It's the nation's capital
It's the nation's capital
I'm talking about the capital, it's Washington D.C.
It's the nation's capital
I'm talking about the capital, feel anything the capital
It's Washington D.C.
It's the biggest capital, sure and I'm sing it's the capital
The punishment is capital in Washington D.C.
Say, somebody say, somebody say
Where you going?, what you do?
It's the nation's capital, sure you don't feel the capital?
I'm talking about the capital, a-aha-aha
Say, yeah, go about but, I don't care but Washington D.C.
Thank very much, thank you, thank you very much appreciated
