Politics
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You ran for office back in school
Said you had to quit, you're no one's fool
So you got a job on Saturdays
And you learned to live on what it paid
Now you're doin' what you want to
And don't it feel good?
If you're tryin' to convince me
Let's get one thing understood
Don't give me no politics
Don't give me no sweet alibis
Don't give me no politics
Dressed up in thin white lies
Don't give me no politics
It don't mix with rock music
Don't give me no politics
Unless you mean it
Now you're playin' in a rockin' band
And your critics tell you "Take a stand"
You're so concerned with what you are
That's why I don't sing, I play guitar
But I heard you on the radio
Denyin' everything that you stand for
If you're tryin' to convince me
Well, you'd better give me more
Don't give me no politics
Don't give me no sweet alibis
Don't give me no politics
Dressed up in thin white lies
Don't give me no politics
Don't mix with rock music
Don't give me no politics
Unless you mean it
Where you gonna go?
And who you gonna turn to?
Where do you go from here?
We're all in this together
I'm goin' through it too
But I leave some things unspoken
Well, I leave it up to you
Don't give me no politics
Don't give me no politics
Don't give me no politics
Don't give me no politics
Unless you mean it
Don't give me no politics
Don't give me no sweet alibis
Don't give me no politics
Mixed up in thin white lies
Don't give me no politics
It don't mix with rock music
Don't give me no politics
Unless you mean it
Don't give me no politics
Don't give me no politics
Don't give me no politics
Don't give me no politics
Don't give me no politics
Don't give me no politics
Don't give me no politics
Don't give me no politics
Unless you mean it
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
