Ballad of a Politician
A man inside a room is shaking hands with other menThis is how it happensOur carefully laid plans
Shake it, shake it babyShake your ass out in that streetYou're gonna make 'em scream somedayYou're gonna make it big
You love so deep, so tenderYour people and your landYou love 'em 'til they can't recallWho they are again
Work it, work it babyWork your way 'round that roomYou're gonna make it big some dayYou're gonna make a boom
But I amBut I amBut I am not a number, not a name
But I amBut I amBut I am a carefully laid plan
Shake what your mama gave youYou know that it won't lastYou're gonna taste the ground real soonYou're gonna taste the grass
A man inside a room is shaking hands with other menThis is how it happensOur world under command
Shake it, shake it babyShake your ass out in that streetYou're gonna make us scream somedayYou're gonna make us weep
You're gonna make us scream somedayYou're gonna make it big
