Now I Rule the HOA with an Iron Fist

I had the idea ‘bout the time
I got my thirtyseventh fine
show up in my mailbox for painting
my house hot pink

I ripped it up, like the one’s before
and decided it was time for another chore
I was going to make sure
this never happened to me or anyone again

I would rule the HOA with an iron fist
and get even with everybody on my list
I would seize the power to decide on quiet hours
and people could paint their doors any color they damn wished
when I rule the HOA with an iron fist

The first obstacle was getting voted in
if your neighbors don’t like you then you won’t win
you can’t have a coup or a military putsch
but you can impress the neighbors with a well trimmed bush

I would rule the HOA with an iron fist
and get even with everybody on my list
I would seize the power to decide on quiet hours
and people could paint their doors any color they damn wished
when I rule the HOA with an iron fist
