Nine old friends drove cross-country 
on a mission of blessing and liberty 
geared up in the morning and left right there 
to sing at the rally in Farragut Square 
They can put up a fence and keep out the crowd 
but you can't fence in a wall of sound 
so we headed downtown to serve it up loud 
got pretty wet but it didn't bring us down. 

 [bad word]  
METRO into Washington 
gonna rock the national phallus down 
 [bad word] at the White House in the rain 
and we won't let up until they let us in 
me and the mandolin holy man 
me and the mandolin holy man 

Walking and walking and walking and walking 
and walking and walking the long way round 
to the giant chalice in the middle of town 
better believe our time's well spent 
throwing holy water at the monument 
gonna [bad word] all night, let em throw us in jail 
rockin the Lincoln memorial 

 [bad word]  METRO into Washington... 

The crowd was all smiles for the fireworks show 
we were right there, letting rhythm go 
with all the pictures people snapped 
prob'ly see ourselves tomorrow on the internet 
Sometimes you do good that you'll never see 
blasting out negativity 
of the overthrow that'll [bad word] 
bring it all back to a goatskin [bad word] 

 [bad word]  METRO into Washington... 
So it's all the way home on the orange line 
the whole band of gypsies and dr. sunshine 
victory 100 smiles at a time 
and a story to tell for the rest of our lives 

we did what we set out to do 
made a lot of people happy, too 
that's whatcha get when you lend a hand 
to the likes of the mandolin holy man 
this is land is your land, this land is my land 
me and the mandolin holy man 

 [bad word]  METRO into Washington... 

METRO'd into Washington 
we rocked the national phallus down 
 [bad word] at the White House in the rain 
and we never let up, soaked to the skin 
maybe next year we'll do it again! 
spinners and satyrs and kittens and [bad word] and ryan... 
and me and the mandolin holy man 
me and the mandolin holy man 

this land is your land, this land is my land 
me and the mandolin holy man
