I work for the WPA
Well, the landlord came this morning,
he knocked on my door
Asked me if I was going to
pay my rent no more
He said, you had to move if you can't pay
And then he turned
and he walked slowly away
D
G
it's coming from the WPA
Well, I went to the railway station
and didn't have a cent
They say, where you stand,
you don't have to pay no rent
So when I got back home,
there was a nose on my door
This house is condemned,
you can't live here no more
Cm
C
So I know she's got me,
When I went out next morning,
I put a lock on my door
I know I would move,
but I ain't no place to go
Great estate people,
they often got so
They're not ratio,
nor acquaintance no more

Heard a mighty rumble and bricks
