Ballad Of A Politician Lyrics - What We Saw From The Cheap Seats - Regina Spektor

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
