Politics Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Everyone's corrupt
You should just shut up
Lay down, back off
The demon you've disrupted

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't wanna talk about politics
Refuse to talk about politics
Don't let me talk about politics
Don't give a shit about politics

[Chorus]
You wanna sleep with him to get to who you need to know
Think that's the way to go, don't you? (Don't you?)
It's in religion, sex, and everything we do and say
I look the other way, won't you? (Won't you?)

[Verse 2]
Everybody's raped
Lyin' to your face
Kiss 'em and got to go, slit you
Here all messed up

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't wanna talk about politics
Refuse to talk about politics
Don't let me talk about politics
Don't give a shit about politics
[Chorus]
You wanna sleep with him to get to who you need to know
Think that's the way to go, don't you? (Don't you?)
It's in religion, sex, and everything we do and say
I look the other way, won't you? (Won't you?)

[Bridge]
Tiny spirits are in your soul
And they remain there
Darkness like in the deepest hole
You sit and pray there
All the deals and the things you've done
You wonder what for
What you thought was so much fun
You have to pay for (Pay for)

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't wanna talk about politics
Refuse to talk about politics
Don't let me talk about politics
Don't give a shit about politics

[Chorus]
You wanna sleep with him to get to who you need to know
Think that's the way to go, don't you? (Don't you?)
It's in religion, sex, and everything we do and say
I look the other way, won't you? (Won't you?)
[Outro]
Don't wanna talk about politics
Refuse to talk about politics
Don't let me talk about politics
Don't give a shit about politics
Don't wanna talk about politics
Refuse to talk about politics
Don't let me talk about politics
Don't give a shit about politics

Genius Annotation

“Politics” is the second track on Korn’s seventh album See You On the Other Side The song talks about aversion to discussing about politics the lead vocalist Jonathan Davis told in MTV news:: I mean there’s politics in everything, and it’s not necessarily governmental politics. There’s who’s going to sleep with whom to get ahead, who’s going to do this to get that. … I see it in the church, everyday life, government. That’s what I’m talking about, not about the stupid crap that’s going on with guys in suits and their views and their lobbies and their this and their that. Korn has never been a real political band. I’m political to a point where it affects human life, from global warming to abortion issues to my gun rights, stuff like that. Those are the kind of politics that I care about. The other BS with taxes or who’s going to be ahead [in elections], I don’t really care."
