  • Here's the hope six demolition project
    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
    Okay, now this is just Drug-Town, just zombies
    But that's just life

    In the community of hope
    The community of hope
    The community of hope
    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 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 center
    A deli called M.L.K

    And the community of hope
    The community of hope
    The community of hope
    The community of hope, hope, hope, hope

    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
    They're gonna put a Walmart here Writer/s: POLLY JEAN HARVEY
