Politician's in the night Sleeping on the poor man's plight Politician's running scared Stuff their bellies what's never shared O de facto, coup d'etat Hypocrisy of Shangri-La The king and queen, the knight and rook Point your finger at the crook O, no no that's the political cry I said no, no, no that's the political cry The politburo lay decree Collectively we will be free Stalin had a five-year plan The common man don't understand Reagan says it trickles down Farmer's face is in the ground Pretoria see color white Has every man now lost his sight O, no no that's the political cry, o yea I said no, no, no that's the political cry Under one banner Is all I'm hoping for Under one banner Is all I'm hoping for And will the overfed corruption Ever starve itself for more, o, no, no yea O, no All right one two three (O,o,o,o,o,o,o?.) East and west begin to fight Will the eagle drink vodka tonight? The poetry of what is right Swept beneath salvation's light Honesty becomes the crime Every face a Philistine Who forgot the children's cry The good, the bad, the ugly try When Castro got the Bay of Pigs The world was poised to launch their MIG's America's the land of hope America don't hang your rope O, no, no that's the political cry O-o, I said, no, no no that's the political cry O-o, I said, o, oh, no no political cry-y-y Religion is the opiate of masses Politic is the toy of upper classes (O-o, o-o) O, no no Yea Politicians in the night Sleeping on a poor man's plight Politicians running scared Stuff their bellies what's never shared O no O no no no O no no no *(O-o, o-o) are continued until the end of the song.
