Tom Lehrer - Political Action Song Lyrics

Now when it comes to anything political
We're int'rested, we're militant, we're critical
Though it's not quite evident
Who it is we represent
We take stands and issue statements by the score
Ev'ry candidate, we know
Though he won't admit it's so
Would give anything to be the one we're for, we're for
Would give anything to be the one we're for
And when we find an issue, we just dote on it
We hold meetings, we discuss it, and we vote on it
We don 't let it get our goat
We just put it to a vote
And in this way any problem can be solved.
What we vote on, we confess
Doesn't matter, more or less
What's important is the principle involved, involved
What's important is the principle involved
We know that there 's a bit of true adult in us
That Congress makes no move without consultin' us
We are fighting for the truth
With the energy of youth
And the singleness of purpose that we share
We look down upon the crowds
With our heads up in the clouds
And our feet planted firmly in midair, mid air
And our feet planted firmly in midair
