Let's Lynch The Landlord Lyrics

The landlord's here to visit
They're blasting disco down below
Sez, "I'm doubling the rent
'Cos the building's 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 'em 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, yeah
Till the rain pours through the ceiling


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

Great song. Faith No More do a good cover of this with a lounge type feel to it.

This, like a lot of their songs, is really catchy. I just listened to it about three hours ago and it's really stuck in my head. In true punk style, they are straightforward and get right to the point. I mean, we know what it means...pretty much. Haha.

"Turn the oven on, it smells like Dachau, yeah" is a reference to the Dachau concentration camp.
