Ballad of a politician

A man inside a room is shaking hands with other men
This is how it happens
Our carefully laid plans
Shake it, shake it baby
Shake your ass out in that street
You´re gonna make ´em scream someday
You´re gonna make it big
You love so deep, so tender
Your people and your land
You love ´em ´til they can´t recall
Who they are again
Work it, work it baby
Work your way ´round that room
You´re gonna make it big some day
You´re gonna make a boom
But I am
But I am
But I am not a number, not a name
But I am
But I am
But I am a carefully laid plan
Shake what your mama gave you
You know that it won´t last
You´re gonna taste the ground real soon
You´re gonna taste the grass
A man inside a room is shaking hands with other men
This is how it happens
Our world under command
Shake it, shake it baby
Shake your ass out in that street
You´re gonna make us scream someday
You´re gonna make us weep
You´re gonna make us scream someday
You´re gonna make it big
This is how it happens
Our carefully laid plans
Shake it, shake it baby
Shake your ass out in that street
You´re gonna make ´em scream someday
You´re gonna make it big
You love so deep, so tender
Your people and your land
You love ´em ´til they can´t recall
Who they are again
Work it, work it baby
Work your way ´round that room
You´re gonna make it big some day
You´re gonna make a boom
But I am
But I am
But I am not a number, not a name
But I am
But I am
But I am a carefully laid plan
Shake what your mama gave you
You know that it won´t last
You´re gonna taste the ground real soon
You´re gonna taste the grass
A man inside a room is shaking hands with other men
This is how it happens
Our world under command
Shake it, shake it baby
Shake your ass out in that street
You´re gonna make us scream someday
You´re gonna make us weep
You´re gonna make us scream someday
You´re gonna make it big
