So You Want to Flip a House

from Punk Baroque by David Rovics

/

about

In many countries, what these people do is illegal. It should be illegal in the US, too, but as long as the rich call the shots, house-flipping will continue to be considered a brilliant entrepreneurial activity that is good for society, rather than a parasitic, destructive one.

lyrics

So you wanna flip a house – you got some cash to burn
You're looking at your options, what gets the best return
You're looking at your options, the southeast or the northwest
If you got some money where should you invest

So you wanna flip a house, invest in real estate
Fix it up a bit, then all you have to do is wait
Here in this bull market you've got nothing to lose because
The price of real estate keeps rising, and we can all make sure it does

So you wanna flip a house, then you must learn the code
We landlords are all progressives here on the progressive development road
We care about community – we care so much, we're sore
We care about the housing crisis – that's why we flip them by the score

So you wanna flip a house – then is it understood
The only way for you to sleep at night is to believe that greed is good
It may or may not be true – you may say you were deceived
But can you really go on flipping if that's not what you believe

So you wanna flip a house
