lyrics

We're not leavin' - we're gonna stay
'Till the jack-booted bucketheads drag us away.
I see the Four Horsemen, I hear the bells -
There's a special place for landlords in Hell.

Noises in the attic, rats chew my toes,
The place is a dump, and the landlord knows.
While he stays in his basement, and plays with his trains,
We wear ponchos in the living room every time it rains.

chorus:

We're the scourge of the neighborhood! We're the slum!
We are the reminder of the dirt and the scum
That collect when a certain party doesn't do his job -
When your landlord's an irresponsible slob!

The view's fantastic, the weather can't be beat,
But the water smells like turnips and we don't have any heat.
So we work all month to find the money for the rent,
Then we work even harder to remember where it went.

(chorus)

We're not leavin' - we're gonna stay
'Till the jack-booted bucketheads drag us away.
I see the Four Horsemen, I hear the bells -
There's a special place for landlords in Hell.
