Ballad of a Politician

[Intro] A man inside a room is shaking hands with other men This is how it happens Our carefully laid plans [Verse 1] Shake it, shake it baby Shake your ass out in that street You're going to make 'em scream someday You're going to make it big [Verse 2] You love so deep, so tender Your people and your land You love them until they can't recall Who they are again [Verse 3] Work it, work it baby Work your way around that room You're going to make it big some day You're going to make a boom [Verse 4] 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 [Verse 5] Shake what your mama gave you You know that it won't last You're going to taste the ground real soon You're going to taste the grass [Verse 6] A man inside a room is shaking hands with other men This is how it happens Our world under command [Verse 7] Shake it, shake it baby Shake your ass out in that street You're going to make us scream someday You're going to make us weak [Outro] You're going to make us scream someday You're going to make it big
