Regina Spektor Ballad Of A Politician
A man inside a room is shaking hands with other men
This is how it happens
Our carefully laid plans
Shake it, shake it baby
Shake your ass out in that street
You're gonna make us scream someday
You're gonna make it big
You love so deep, so tender
Your people and your land
You love 'em 'til they can't recall
Who they are again
Work it, work it baby
Work your way 'round that room
You're gonna make it big one day
You're gonna make a boom
But I am
But I am
But I am not a number, not a name
But I am
But I am
But I am a carefully laid plan
Shake what your mama gave you
You know that it won't last
You're gonna taste the ground real soon
You're gonna taste the grass
A man inside a room is shaking hands with other men
This is how it happens
Our world under command
Shake it, shake it baby
Shake your ass out in that street
You're gonna make us scream someday
You're gonna make us weak
You're gonna make us scream someday
You're gonna make it big
