Music and lyrics written and performed by Remy. LYRICS: You save a piece of each paycheck To buy a house in your town With a short white picket fence You've got the right down payment You're pre-approved as planned So you can buy my house From my cold dead hands 30 years fixed at 2.5 My name will be on this deed until the day that I die Interest rates were kept artificially low You think I'm ever selling? That must be some kind of joke Zero inventory within five miles of church? Zoom out to North America and click "redo search" Like Amber Heard on a bed, I'm squatting right here I hear the rental market's great around this time of year So go and build your own house on that vacant land Here, you can take this shovel From my cold dead hands More cars on the road, less sun in the sky I will oppose all new construction till the day that I die My property value might be slightly harmed It would change the area's character—when you built here, this was all farms Senior homes and row houses, I'm blocking them all And God help the man I witness playing pickleball Congressman! Congressman! I just want a house But building here's illegal? Yeah, how's that allowed? We could use a voice like yours, keep our House in your plans You could take my seat. Really? From my cold dead hands Zero term limits, and industry vies I will be the incumbent until my brain finally dies And then a couple years more, it is what it is I almost lost one time, so we drew the district like this My cold hands My cold dead hands
