lyrics

★ PLAYING POLITICS ★

UP IN THE CITY OUT ON THE STREET
PLAYING POLITICS WHENEVER THEY MEET
DOWN AT THE CLUB AND OUT ON THE FLOOR
PLAYING POLITICS WHATEVER IT'S FOR

OUT ON THE ROAD IN THE BACK OF THE CAR
PLAYING POLITICS WHEREVER THEY ARE
IN FRONT OF THE KIDS THERE IS NO SHAME
PLAYING POLITICS IT'S THE NAME OF THE GAME

EVERYBODY’S IN POLITICS GOT THEIR OWN CAMPAIGN AT THEIR FINGERTIPS
EVERYBODY IS A DIPLOMAT PLAYING POLITICS WELL TELL ME WHERE THAT'S AT PLAYING POLITICS OF LOVE

DOWN AT THE BEACH OUT IN THE SUN
PLAYING POLITICS WHENEVER IT'S DONE
BACK AT THE OFFICE WHO MAKES A MOVE
PLAYING POLITICS IT'S OH SO SMOOTH

EVERYBODY’S IN POLITICS GOT THEIR OWN CAMPAIGN AT THEIR FINGERTIPS
EVERYBODY IS A DIPLOMAT PLAYING POLITICS WELL TELL ME WHERE THAT'S AT POLITICS OF LOVE

YOU'RE IN THE RIGHT PLACE AT THE RIGHT TIME
WITH THE RIGHT MOVES AND THE RIGHT LINE
IN THE RIGHT PLACE AT THE RIGHT TIME
WITH THE RIGHT MOVES AND THE RIGHT LINE

EVERYBODY’S IN POLITICS GOT THEIR OWN CAMPAIGN AT THEIR FINGERTIPS
EVERYBODY IS A DIPLOMAT PLAYING POLITICS TELL ME WHERE THAT'S AT THEY'RE PLAYING POLITICS OF LOVE

EVERYBODY’S IN POLITICS GOT THEIR OWN CAMPAIGN AT THEIR FINGERTIPS
EVERYBODY IS A DIPLOMAT PLAYING POLITICS WELL TELL ME WHERE THAT'S AT

EVERYBODY’S IN POLITICS GOT THEIR OWN CAMPAIGN AT THEIR FINGERTIPS
EVERYBODY IS A DIPLOMAT PLAYING POLITICS WELL TELL ME WHERE THAT'S AT
