45th Floor

Politician drivin' down the road

Flashin' that smile that got him the vote

Here's another country girl

He's teachin' her about the world in his room

On the 45th floor - get 'em all while they're young

Campaign money comes rollin' in

Ain't nobody askin' where it's been

Talk about a smokin' gun

What'd we pay to get his son out of jail?

Don't inhale

On the 45th floor

We all know what's been happenin'

Ain't no slappin' him down

We're supposedly invited to the party

But the elevator's never gonna stop

On the 45th floor

Doesn't matter if it's day or night

'Cause we're all gonna pay the price

And the party rolls on

Used to be a rumour goin' round

The people tried to run my man outta town

We thought we'd see him ride the rails

No one's ever gonna nail him down

All because of the 45th floor

We all know what's been happenin'

Ain't no slappin' him down

We're supposedly invited to the party

But the elevator's never gonna stop

On the 45th floor

Oesn't matter if it's day or night

'Cause we're all gonna pay the price

And the party rolls on

None of these fools ever thinks about the pain they cause

It's all about an image to uphold

How could anybody be so bold?

Takin' all the candy from the hands of a child

We all know what's been happenin'

Ain't no slappin' him down

We're supposedly invited to the party

But the elevator's never gonna stop

On the 45th floor

Doesn't matter if it's day or night

'Cause we're all gonna pay the price

And the party rolls on

Doesn't matter if it's day or night

'Cause we're all gonna pay the price

And the party rolls on
