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   Doesn't matter if it's left or right   '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   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
