This Philadelphia Sound 70s hit could have been about DC.
The Backstabbers by the O’Jays (1972)
A few of your buddies, they sure look shady
The blades are long, clenched tight in their fists
Aimin’ straight at your back
And I don’t think they’ll miss
All the time, they want to take your place
The back stabbers.
They just keep on comin’
What can I do to get on the right track?
I wish they’d take some of these knives out of my back
All the time, they want to take your place
The back stabbers. Back stabbers.
Low down, dirty.
Smilin’ faces smilin’ faces sometimes tell lies.
I don’t need low down, dirty bastards. Back stabbers.
They’re smilin’ in your face, might be your neighbor
Your next door neighbor, yeah
Back stabbers.
Back stabbers.
Yes.🙄
