Political (album version)-Spirit of the West

Political - Spirit of the West I was tired of being put right down By myself for not being what you thought You had found pulled hard in two directions By a desire to learn and my old affections When I tried to share my world with you You could not seem to tolerate The people I had grown to love They shrank under your scrutiny Became the ones you'd hate Why did everything Every little thing, every little thing With you and me have to be so political? I was feeling a little underwhelmed About hanging around with you and Feeling over cautious every word, every little look Every little sig, every little phrase Put me deeper in your doghouse You'd let me out to run across your world I ran into a wall you told me I built you Then you'd reel me in, ream me out, pick me up Push me out again and then repeat it Why did everything Every little thing, every little thing With you and me have to be so political? Too busy tripping on my tongue To try and stand my ground I can still see myself crying in your lap Asking you, "Are you happy With the man you have found?" I'm greatful for what you did for me I can see things now I never would have seen Today, I thought about what could have been But could never be for you and me Because everything Every little thing, every little thing Wtih you and me had to be so political
