Landlord - Josh White
Paint peelin' off my walls
Dirt pilin' in the hall
Ice on the pipes but no steam at all
Landlord landlord
That lowdown rotten good fer nuthin' mmm
He says "I'm gonna raise your rent one day
Kick you out if you can't pay
Yes you and the doggone OPA"
Landlord landlord
That lowdown rotten good fer nuthin' mmmm
He's against public housin'
He can't stand the fuss we're 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
Landlord landlord
That lowdown rotten good fer nuthin' mmm
Plaster fell on my grandma's head
Here's what that dirty landlord said
"Why she can't hell she ain't dead
Landlord landlord
That disinfecting rent collecting mmm
Listen to that fake whine
"Fully rented" says the sign
He would think that boy is fine
Landlord landlord
That lowdown rotten good fer nuthin' mmm
He's against slum clearance
Government interference
He's a slimy old reptilian
Worth a cool 11 million
C'mon neighbors let's get wise
We can lick these greedy guys
All ya gotta do is organize
Landlord landlord
That lowdown rotten good fer nuthin'
Evil speaking profit seeking
Mercenary reactionary
