My Politics

My Politics

Nomeansno
(album: The Worldhood Of The World (As Such))

Don´t ask me what to do
I get sick just thinking about you
And when I look at all we´ve done
I went to walk away just hang my head und pray
That you will, look at me, what da you see?
Am I the king of the hill, standing over his kill?
Well baby
The taste of blood is sweet, I´ll lay this carcass at your feet
lf you´ll only keep me company
This is it, my politics this is it
I´ve learned to hate, it´s much to late
This is it, my politics
I stand before you, a simple man
A sly dog
A politician
This is it, my politics this is it

I´ve seen more than I can stand
But in my acts and deeds I´m a political man
I´ll give you, I´ll give you all my worn out tools
Another brutal shot of my rhythm und blues
I need to
To draw you close, to joke your hand
And in your shining face I see the promised land
Well baby
Maybe you can share with me the depths of our compability
In the crimes of humanity
This is it, my politics this is it
I love to hate, that´s fucking great
This is it, my politics

Out the edge between the living and the dead,
I try to throw you off with a shake of my head.
I try to drag you down and bury you alive,
but when I fall asleep that´s when you open your eyes.
You laugh, you cry, you look me in the eye with your hang-dog face,
that´s when I put you in your place.
Can you tell me, how will you survive?
You have to be the biggest fool alive.

I lay awake all night but all that I can see are the vicious, clever lies of my mythology.
I´m beating my head up against the wall and on each single,
separate brick there is a picture of you all.
This is it, the end, I´ll tell you what I´ll do,
I´m going to pick you with a stick und look inside of you.
But when you wander in the dark there is nothing to see.
I´m on a desperate search for reality.

To tell the truth, you can all get screwed
I´d like to give you a kick, you little son of a bitch
Just let me
Let me get my hands around your throat
And I will choke and choke and choke and choke and choke and choke and choke and choke
What is the bitter explanation for the violence of my indignation?
Well, it´s as plain as the nose an my face
I am a member of the human race
This is it, my politics this is it
I love to hate, that´s fucking great
This is it, my politics
I stand before you, a simple man
A sly dog
A politician
This is it, my politics
Hate
