Political Cry - Corey Hart

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
