Emery Studying Politics Lyrics

Studying Politics Lyrics

it's like a pencil with erasers at both ends

i've won it all but we're dealing in purses

and these activities that you have engaged in

this is the politics of seeing you dance with him



we begin with concluding remarks

pick up the pieces and examine the parts

your words always cut when they cliche

but with my knife because i came for the buffet







this is the way it goes

with you a part of it

nervously saying words

that all so-tightly fit



a mark beneath the chin (ah! ah!)

i've caught you once again



it's in the way you sell

every word and phrase

and leaving me to know

how much the meaning weighs



say that we're needing this (ah! ah!)

using hands for emphasis



ah-ho! ah-ho! ah-ho! ah-ho!

ah-ho! ah-ho! ah-ho!







you'd like to think that you're the best part of me

but i confess there is nothing left of you here (nothing left of you here)

these paramounts and silly games

hide your face and say the name, say the name (say the name!)







this is the way it goes

with you a part of it

nervously saying words

that all so-tightly fit



a mark beneath the chin (ah! ah!)

and i've caught you once again



it's in the way you sell

every word and phrase

and leaving me to know

how much the meaning weighs



say that we're needing this (ah! ah!)

your tears for emphasis







ah, there's that smile again (there's that smile again!)

you're faking and i follow you right in

what a fool i've been

to fall for it each time







this is the way it goes

with you a part of it

nervously saying words

that all so-tightly fit

it's in the way you sell

every word and phrase

and leaving me to know

how much the meaning weighs

this is the way it goes

with you a part of it

nervously saying words

that all so-tightly fit

it's in the way you sell

every word and phrase

and leaving me to know

how much the meaning weighs







ah-ho! ah-ho! ah-ho! ah-ho!

ah-ho! ah-ho! ah-ho!
