Lyrics

Rolling with the Stone since '79 Just two Cons on the loose with fat ties Lobbied with your Man for Atlantic City slots Sold some cheap flats to the Russian mob Well, I don't care whose shoes you wore; You'll always be a bankrupt whore My country 'tis not of thee- How much did you sell us for? Nothing here to see, just the KGB Giving you a tour of all the Moscow suites Back in '87, Aussies called you out; You were too red for Sydney, no collusion now though? You won't admit it You won't admit it That's the reason you forbid it You went and hid it; d'you miss it? Now who's the bigot? And who is rigid, which is it? You won't admit it You won't admit it You won't admit it You won't admit it That's the reason you forbid it You went and hid it; d'you miss it? Now who's the bigot? And who is rigid, which is it? You won't admit it You won't admit it (Ooh) (Woo!) You won't admit it You won't admit it That's the reason you forbid it You went and hid it; d'you miss it? Now who's the bigot? And who is rigid, which is it? Just admit it You won't admit it Deep in debt, the 90's didn't play so well Wall Street wouldn't bite; but shady lenders pay bail Kickbacks in the Kremlin for some highrise deals, said "Come crash in Manhattan when the ruble fails" Well, I don't care whose shoes you wore; You'll always be a bankrupt whore My country 'tis not of thee- How much did you sell us for? Decades in the making, puppet president Bids in '88 then y2K, did you dip? Cronies breathing down your neck to take a hit Treason or the kompromat; I bet you did! You won't admit it You won't admit it That's the reason you forbid it You went and hid it; d'you miss it? Now who's the bigot? And who is rigid, which is it? You won't admit it You won't admit it You won't admit it You won't admit it That's the reason you forbid it You went and hid it; d'you miss it? Now who's the bigot? And who is rigid, which is it? Just admit it You won't admit it
