POLITICS
[ country ]


       Yeah, some folks like to party it up with a holiday buffet
       Others cheer with plenty’a beer an’ a football pizza gourmet
       An' some folks get together whenever just for a couple of kicks
       But here in the sticks we dig conflicts, we talk politics

             Yeah, we talk about our right to life an’ about your right to die
             If you don’t dig down home discussion best pass us clear on by
             We sit out on the front porch in the evenin’ ‘round ‘bout six
             No, we don’t just blow smoke, we talk politics

       We talk about stubborn elephants an’ about them liberal mules
       An’ about why God is disappointed in our public schools
       Don’t need egghead advice from walls of ivory-covered tower bricks
       Up there they may blow smoke but we talk politics

             We guard our right to chew an’ spit, practice our right to drink
             You can bet unfiltered butts we think any way we choose to think
             We don’t tow no party line, no, we like to throw independent in
                  the mix
             Yeah, we don’t just blow smoke, we talk politics

       Now the tv likes to color us solid as either red or blue
       An' as long as ratings stay up guess they don’t care
       If Americans know what’s really true

             We keep an eye on the economy and we don’t like oil slicks
             An’ we figure it’s both sides’ fault that we’re in such a hell’uva fix
             So don’t come 'round knockin’ on our door unless you can take
                  your licks
             ‘Cause we don’t just blow smoke, we talk politics

             No, we ain’t completely transfixed by a few l’tle computer mouse
                  clicks
             An’ we don’t intermix with dipsticks, we talk politics
             Politics, politics, we talk politics
