Regina Spektor - Ballad of a Politician текст песни

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 'em 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 someday,
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 weep,
You're gonna make us scream someday,
You're gonna make it big.
