Political Poison (Version 6 Country Metal)

(Long Musical Intro) (Verse 1) You came dressed up in the American flag Sold me your many fears on a silver tray Poured it out like it was medicine from a bag Then you watched me sigh and gently sway You talk sweet on the television screen But your hands were never ever clean You’ve got the same old grin powered by a new machine Running your many lies through the seams (Pre-Chorus) And the room becomes sweltering When the truth is creeping near You split the crowd, it’s overwhelming Then you up and just disappear (Chorus) Political poison Sprayed onto the tip of my tongue Political poison You made it nearly impossible for a successful run Political poison I spit all your poison back out Political poison We can see that this is going to be a rout (Verse 2) You ain’t got the numbers, only smoke You’ve got a choir of masking screens Turned my neighbor into a laughing joke Turned all the pity and doubt into a need Now the tables warp and start to split By words spoken, bouncing against the walls But I know what you’re up to because that’s an old trick Being here and thinking through it all (Pre-Chorus) And the room becomes sweltering When the truth is creeping near You split the crowd, it’s overwhelming Then you up and just disappear (Chorus) Political poison Sprayed onto the tip of my tongue Political poison You made it nearly impossible for a successful run Political poison I spit all your poison back out Political poison We can see that this is going to be a rout (Verse 3) Hands are up and it’s time to clean house Separate the serpent from the suit Names are listed, each one sleazier than the next louse We can only face what is actually true No more blanketing smoke No more staged little vows If you want to get my vote You need to earn it somehow (Pre-Chorus) And the room becomes sweltering When the truth is creeping near You split the crowd, it’s overwhelming Then you up and just disappear (Long Musical Solos) (Chorus) Political poison Sprayed onto the tip of my tongue Political poison You made it nearly impossible for a successful run Political poison I spit all your poison back out Political poison We can see that this is going to be a rout Political poison You don't own anything in this town Political poison If you did we would all tear it down
