Spirit of The West - Political lyrics

I was tired of being put right down by myself for not being what you thought you found

Pulled hard in two directions by a desire to learn and my old affections

I tried to share my world with you

you could not seem to tolerate

the people I have grown to love

they shrank under your scrutiny, became the ones you hate

Everything,

everything with you and me had to be so political

Everything,

everything with you and me had to be so political

I was feeling underwhelmed about hangin round with you and feeling over cautious,

every word, every look, evry little sign, every little phrase put me deeper in your dog house

you let me out to run across your world,

I ran into a wall you told me that I built it

then you'd reel me in,

reel me out,

pick me up,

push me out again,

and then repeat it.

Why did...

Everything,

everything with you and me had to be so political

Everything,

everything with you and me had to be so political

Everything, everything with you and me was...

too busy triping on my tongue to try and stnd my ground,

and I can still see myself crying in your lap asking you

"are you happy with the man you found?"

I'm greatful for wehat you did for me,

I can see things now i would have never seen

But today I thought of what could have been,

but could never be for you and me,

Cause

Everything,

everything with you and me had to be so political

Everything,

everything with you and me had to be so political
