Music And Politics

歌詞

If ever I would stop thinking about music and politics I would tell you that sometimes it?s easier to desire And pursue the attention and admiration of 100 strangers Than it is to accept the love and loyalty of those closest to me And I would tell you that sometimes I prefer to look at myself through someone else?s eyes Eyes that aren?t clouded with the tears of knowing What an asshole I can be, as yours are If ever I would stop thinking about music and politics I might be able to listen in silence to your concerns Rather than hearing everything as an accusation Or an indictment against me And I would tell you that sometimes I use sex to avoid communication It?s the best escape when we?re down on our luck But I can express more emotions than laughter, anger, and let?s fuck If ever I would stop thinking about music and politics If ever I would stop thinking about music and politics If ever I would stop thinking about music and politics If ever I would stop thinking about music and politics If ever I would stop thinking about music and politics I would tell you that I pooped in my own dog dish And sometimes I would rather face not eating Than face licking it clean and admitting when I?m selfish And I?d tell you that I?m suffering from the worst type of loneliness The loneliness of being misunderstood Or more poignantly the loneliness of being afraid To allow myself, to be understood If ever I would stop thinking about music and politics I would tell you that the personal revolution Is far more difficult And is the first step in any revolution If ever I would stop thinking about music and politics If ever I would stop thinking about music and politics If ever I would stop thinking about music and politics If ever I would stop thinking about music and politics I would tell you that music is the expression of emotion And that politics is merely the decoy of perception
