lyrics

Their boundless greed will make you gag
They priced out all the rainbow flags
They're full of lies and cold deceit
Those robber barons of Lombard Street

Where I once laid to sleep at night
Is now a cookie-cutter blight
The padlocked door on the bookstore
The friendly spaces dark all night

They raised the rent without a care
They took away my friend’s healthcare
Co-opt our pride for business lies
And it’s revenge that I now swear

Their boundless greed will make you gag
They priced out all the rainbow flags
They’re full of lies and cold deceit
The robber barons of Lombard Street

And now we’re free and on the run
This fight for all has just begun
The dress you wear, that icy stare,
We’ll make them pay for what they’ve done

So late at night at their convention
While liquor flowed and rich men gloat
We crept along and gave a hearty
Laugh, and smile, at our pistol loads
For they would not forget who’d beat them
Just two femmes with fire in their eyes
And as the building was swallowed by flames
We smiled

Their boundless greed will make you gag
They priced out all the rainbow flags
They’re full of lies and cold deceit
The robber barons of Lombard Street

Their boundless greed will make you gag
They priced out all the rainbow flags
They’re full of lies and cold deceit
The robber barons of Lombard Street
