Everyone's corrupt
You should just shut up
Lay down, back off
The demon you disrupted

Don't want to talk about politics
Don't preach or talk about politics
Don't let me talk about politics
Don't give a shit about politics

You want to sleep with him to get to who you need to know
Think that's the way to go don't you?
Its in religion, sex, and everything we do and say
I look the other way won't you?

Everybody's raped
Lying to your face
Kick's you in the gut
Slayed you here on the stop

Don't want to talk about politics
Don't preach or talk about politics
Don't let me talk about politics
Don't give a shit about politics

You want to sleep with him to get to who you need to know
Think that's the way to go don't you?
Its in religion, sex, and everything we do and say
I look the other way won't you?

Tiniest dream living in your soul
Darkest life in the deepest hole
All the guilt from the things you've told
What you thought was so much fun
You'll have to pay for

Don't want to talk about politics
Don't preach or talk about politics
Don't let me talk about politics
Don't give a shit about politics

You want to sleep with him to get to who you need to know
Think thats the way to go don't you?
Its in religion, sex, and everything we do and say
I look the other way won't you?

Don't want to talk about politics
Don't preach or talk about politics
Don't let me talk about politics
Don't give a shit about politics

Don't want to talk about politics
Don't preach or talk about politics
Don't let me talk about politics
Don't give a shit about politics!
