[Verse 1]
Banned in D.C. with a thousand more places to go
Gonna swim across the Atlantic
'Cause that's the only place I can go
[Chorus]

Why? I'm banned in D.C
D.C
[Verse 2]
We, we got ourselves
Gonna sing it, gonna love it, gonna work it out to any length
Don't worry, no worry, about what the people say
We got ourselves, we gonna make it anyway
[Chorus]
You! You can't hurt me
Why? I'm banned in D.C
D.C., D.C
[Bridge]

My, oh, my, I let you down upon the ground
So soon no more
[Instrumental Break]
[Guitar Solo]
[Outro]
No! You can't afford to close your doors, so soon no more
My, oh, my, I'll let you down upon the ground
