banned in D.C. with a thousand other places to go
gonna swim across the Atlantic
cause that's the only place I can go
you, you can't hurt me
why I'm banned in D.C., D.C

we, we got ourselves
gonna sing it/gonna love it
gonna work it out to any length
don't worry no, no worry, about what the people say
we got ourselves
we gonna make it anyway
you, you can't hurt me
why I'm banned in D.C., D.C.

and if you ban us from your clubs
it's the right time
with the right mind
and if you think we really care
you won't find in my mind
ooh ooh you can't afford
to close your doors
so soon no more.
