The landlord's here to visit
They're blasting disco down below
Sez, "I'm doubling the rent
Cuz the buildings condemned
You're gonna help me buy City Hall"


But we can, you know we can
We can, you know we can
Let's lynch the landlord man


I tell them turn on the water
I tell them turn on the heat
Tells me "All you ever do is complain"
Then they search the place when I'm not here


But we can, you know we can
Let's lynch the landlord
Let's lynch the landlord
Let's lynch the landlord man


There's rats chewin' up the kitchen
Roaches up to my knees
Turn the oven on, it smells like Dachau
Til' the rain pours through the ceiling


But we can, you know we can
Let's lynch the landlord man
