My Politics Lyrics - Nomeansno

Don't ask me what to do 

I get sick just thinking about you 

And when I look at all we've done 

I went to walk away just hang my head und pray 

That you will, look at me, what da you see? 

Am I the king of the hill, standing over his kill? 

Well baby 

The taste of blood is sweet, I'll lay this carcass at your feet 

lf you'll only keep me company 

This is it, my politics this is it 

I've learned to hate, it's much to late 

This is it, my politics 

I stand before you, a simple man 

A sly dog 

A politician 

This is it, my politics this is it 

I've seen more than I can stand 

But in my acts and deeds I'm a political man 

I'll give you, I'll give you all my worn out tools 

Another brutal shot of my rhythm und blues 

I need to 

To draw you close, to joke your hand 

And in your shining face I see the promised land 

Well baby 

Maybe you can share with me the depths of our compability 

In the crimes of humanity 

This is it, my politics this is it 

I love to hate, that's fucking great 

This is it, my politics 

Out the edge between the living and the dead, 

I try to throw you off with a shake of my head. 

I try to drag you down and bury you alive, 

but when I fall asleep that's when you open your eyes. 

You laugh, you cry, you look me in the eye with your hang-dog face, 

that's when I put you in your place. 

Can you tell me, how will you survive? 

You have to be the biggest fool alive. 

I lay awake all night but all that I can see are the vicious, clever lies of my mythology. 

I'm beating my head up against the wall and on each single, 

separate brick there is a picture of you all. 

This is it, the end, I'll tell you what I'll do, 

I'm going to pick you with a stick und look inside of you. 

But when you wander in the dark there is nothing to see. 

I'm on a desperate search for reality.
