I'm angry
Yes I'm angry
Very angry

Two people living
Living together
They do the things they want
They think they're clever

But when they fight or play their silly tricks
When they fall in love it's only politics

Politics
Politics, yeah

I'm frightened
Yes I'm frightened
Very frightened
The boy is frightened
He doesn't understand
He's in love with another man

And when they fight or play their silly tricks
When they fall in love it's only politics

Politics
Politics, yeah
Politics

Now I see it
See it for what it is
What seems so personal is really politics
And when we fight or make ourselves sick
When we fall in love it's only politics

Politics, yeah
Politics, tics
Politics, tics tics tic tic tic tic
Politics, yeah
Politics
Politics, yeah
What seems so personal is really politics
