Corey Hart - Political Cry Lyrics
Politician's in the nightSleeping on the poor man's plightPolitician's running scaredStuff their bellies what's never sharedO de facto, coup d'etatHypocrisy of Shangri-LaThe king and queen, the knight and rookPoint your finger at the crookO, no no that's the political cryI said no, no, no that's the political cryThe politburo lay decreeCollectively we will be freeStalin had a five-year planThe common man don't understandReagan says it trickles downFarmer's face is in the groundPretoria see color whiteHas every man now lost his sightO, no no that's the political cry, o yeaI said no, no, no that's the political cryUnder one bannerIs all I'm hoping forUnder one bannerIs all I'm hoping forAnd will the overfed corruptionEver starve itself for more, o, no, no yeaO, noAll right one two three(O,o,o,o,o,o,o?.)East and west begin to fightWill the eagle drink vodka tonight?The poetry of what is rightSwept beneath salvation's lightHonesty becomes the crimeEvery face a PhilistineWho forgot the children's cryThe good, the bad, the ugly tryWhen Castro got the Bay of PigsThe world was poised to launch their MIG'sAmerica's the land of hopeAmerica don't hang your ropeO, no, no that's the political cryO-o, I said, no, no no that's the political cryO-o, I said, o, oh, no no political cry-y-yReligion is the opiate of massesPolitic is the toy of upper classes(O-o, o-o)O, no noYeaPoliticians in the nightSleeping on a poor man's plightPoliticians running scaredStuff their bellies what's never sharedO noO no no noO no no no*(O-o, o-o) are continued until the end of the song
