What if our dreams just can't get going
What'll they mean untold
What if our lives get spent not knowing
All of the time we've sold
What if our lives get spent
Witholding from each other
In the POLITICS OF LOVE
If you know why and it won't make me cry
Well, then please won't you tell me it's there
We can't ignore what the night is right for
So we lie and we say we don't care
What if our dreams just can't get going
What'll they mean untold
What if our lives get spent not knowing
All of the time we've sold
What if our lives get spent
Witholding from the others
In the POLITICS OF LOVE
Way up above from the city we love
Looking down on the streets we call home
I know where you're from
Now you know where I'm from
But why we're both here
We don't know
But I am the lover that you always needed
You didn't see it in me
But live will go on
And still we'll get off
On the symptoms, maintain the disease
