- Lyrics
-
Paint peelin’ off the wall,
Dirt pilin’ in the hall,
Ice on the pipes but no steam at all.
CHORUS
Landlord, landlord
That lowdown rotten good-for-nothin’ mmm
He says, “I’m gonna raise your rent one day,
Kick you out if you can’t pay,
Yes, you and the doggone O. P. A.*
CHORUS
He’s against public housin’,
He can’t stand the fuss were rousin’,
We’ll take care of him later
With the rat exterminator.
Pay him a bonus and give him grease
For the right to sign a lease.
You can have dogs but kids must cease.
CHORUS
Plaster fell on grandma’s head,
Here’s what that dirty landlord said:
“Why you kickin’, fella, she ain’t dead?”
2nd CHORUS
Landlord, landlord,
That disinfectin’, rent collectin’…
Listen to that phony whine,
“Fully rented” says the sign
Who wouldn’t think that war is fine?
CHORUS
He’s against slum clearance
Government interference
He’s a slimy old reptilian
Worth a cool eleven million
Come on neighbors, let’s get wise
We can lick these greed guys
All you gotta do is organize
LAST CHORUS
Landlord, landlord,
Tat low down rotten, good—for-nothin’
Devil speakin’, profit seekin’,
Mercenary, reactionary
Landlord.VIEW COMPLETE FEWER LYRICS
