Political Strings

It's a set up, you'd better get up
It's a set up, you'd better get up
Strings, strings, political strings, run rings around the people
Binding them up and draining their cup, they never knew what hit them
Strings, strings, political strings, run rings around the people
Binding them up and draining their cup, they never knew what hit them
Some people they think that the world stinks from the ghetto to the jail
Some other think that their empty plate is just fate
And not a symbol of hell
But I say
Strings, strings, political strings, run rings around the people
Binding them up and draining their cup, they never knew what hit them
Some people with the power yeah they plant the flower,
Around the condominium
While others are lying at their door in fever and delirium
Strings, strings, political strings, run rings around the people
So many give up, there goes a fallen cup they never knew what hit themv But political rings says it just doesn't mean what you think
That it means through, Relax in your chair
We know you say you care we'll pick up the cups in the clean up
It's a set up, you'd better get up
Political strings run rings around the people
Binding them up and draining their cup, they never knew what hit them
