Fear’s a Drug (The Trouble with Politics)

“This war’s unjust,” he said
She disagreed, and spoke him dead
Pacifism fails again
No measure taken of our sin
The smile outside but dark within
Each life a war each death a win
Jesus used by a filthy grin
As Empire arms to rape again
Fix New Orleans or just pretend
Gotta stop this -- don’t know when…

That’s the trouble with politics.

Andy fought in Viet Nam
Julie fought in Desert Storm
The wounds they have don’t show
Their truths you cannot know
Until Sarge says, “Troops, let’s go!”
A bullet finds your friend or foe
Or hits you like a hammer blow
And blood runs down a scarlet flow
While markets rise, an electric glow
An oversight or overthrow?

That’s the trouble with politics.

He offers hope and faith
While she shouts out they’re poison
Hope can’t compete with terror, dear.
My red phone rings it's crystal clear
Love cannot cast out fear
Not during an election year
No Future / past just now and here
I need this win – I need this smear
The base of race is space severe
She plays to raise her own career.

That’s the trouble with politics, yeah.
That’s the trouble with politics.

We’re swimmin’ in their oil slicks
Slippery -- we like their tricks
That’s the reason we’re so sick.
That’s the wound we love to lick.
Scare me like a needle flicks.
Fear’s a drug. I need my fix.
I’m Pavlov’s dog, I drool for sticks.
Just like S/M – hurt me for kicks.

(Here, doggie doggie... your bowl of fear...)

That’s the trouble with politics, yeah,
That’s the trouble with politics.
