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.
oesn t matter if it s day or night
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
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.

Doesn t matter if it s day or night
Cause we re all gonna pay the price.
And the party rolls on.
