Ballad Of A Politician Songtext / Lyric

A man inside a room is shaking hands with other men

This is how it happens

Our carefully laid plans



Shake it, shake it baby

Shake your ass out in that street

You're gonna make us scream someday

You're gonna make it big



You love so deep, so tender

Your people and your land

You love 'em 'til they can't recall

Who they are again



Work it, work it baby

Work your way 'round that room

You're gonna make it big one day

You're gonna make a boom






But I am

But I am

But I am not a number, not a name



But I am

But I am

But I am a carefully laid plan



Shake what your mama gave you

You know that it won't last

You're gonna taste the ground real soon

You're gonna taste the grass



A man inside a room is shaking hands with other men

This is how it happens

Our world under command



Shake it, shake it baby

Shake your ass out in that street

You're gonna make us scream someday

You're gonna make us weak



You're gonna make us scream someday

You're gonna make it big
