E                      F#
Here's the Hope Six Demolition Project
A
Stretching down to Benning Road
A well-known "pathway of death"
At least that's what I'm told
And here's the one sit-down restaurant
In Ward Seven, nice
OK, now this is just drug town
Just zombies, but that's just life

Chorus:
        E     C#m    B
In the community of hope
     E     C#m    B
The community of hope
     E     C#m    B
The community of hope
     E     C#m    B
The community of hope, hope, hope, hope

Here's the highway to death and destruction
South Capitol is its name
And the school just looks like a shit-hole
Does that look like a nice place?
Here's the old mental institution
Now the Homeland Security Base
And here's God's Deliverance Centre
A deli called M.L.K

Chorus

         A           C#m     A C#m
They're gonna put a Walmart here
         A           C#m     F# E
They're gonna put a Walmart here
They're gonna put a Walmart here
They're gonna put a Walmart here
They're gonna put a Walmart here
They're gonna put a Walmart here
They're gonna put a Walmart here
They're gonna put a Walmart here
