Neil Young - Politician lyrics

Politician

Neil Young

Come along and say you will,

Be the one to change the meaning

Of the writing on the wall

The lonely politician

is lying in the hall.

Come along and say you can,

Be the one to take this feeling,

I'll never understand,

Why walk around the center

With a nail through your hand?

It's another way to run,

It's a lonely weekend

And what have you done?

You know you got

a reason to run, babe

You know you got

a reason to hide, babe

Come along and say you will,

Be the one to change the meaning

Of the writing on the wall

The lonely politician

is lying in the hall.

It's another way to run,

It's a lonely weekend

And what have you done?

You know you got

a reason to run, babe

You know you got

a reason to hide, babe.

Come along and say you can,

Be the one to take this feeling,

I'll never understand,

Why walk around the center

With a nail through your hand?
