Politician's in the night
|
Sleeping on the poor man's plight
|
Politician's running scared
|
Stuff their bellies what's never shared
|
O de facto, coup d'etat
|
Hypocrisy of Shangri-La
|
The king and queen, the knight and rook
|
Point your finger at the crook
|
O, no no that's the political cry
|
I said no, no, no that's the political cry
|
The politburo lay decree
|
Collectively we will be free
|
Stalin had a five-year plan
|
The common man don't understand
|
Reagan says it trickles down
|
Farmer's face is in the ground
|
Pretoria see color white
|
Has every man now lost his sight
|
O, no no that's the political cry, o yea
|
I said no, no, no that's the political cry
|
Under one banner
|
Is all I'm hoping for
|
Under one banner
|
Is all I'm hoping for
|
And will the overfed corruption
|
Ever starve itself for more, o, no, no yea
|
O, no
|
All right one two three
|
(O,o,o,o,o,o,o?.)
|
East and west begin to fight
|
Will the eagle drink vodka tonight?
|
The poetry of what is right
|
Swept beneath salvation's light
|
Honesty becomes the crime
|
Every face a Philistine
|
Who forgot the children's cry
|
The good, the bad, the ugly try
|
When Castro got the Bay of Pigs
|
The world was poised to launch their MIG's
|
America's the land of hope
|
America don't hang your rope
|
O, no, no that's the political cry
|
O-o, I said, no, no no that's the political cry
|
O-o, I said, o, oh, no no political cry-y-y
|
Religion is the opiate of masses
|
Politic is the toy of upper classes
|
(O-o, o-o)
|
O, no no
|
Yea
|
Politicians in the night
|
Sleeping on a poor man's plight
|
Politicians running scared
|
Stuff their bellies what's never shared
|
O no
|
O no no no
|
O no no no
|
(O-o, o-o) [continued until the end of the song]
