Miss Black America - Personal Politics lyrics

rate me

It's not intent that makes us liars,

But desire to please

And be more than we ever could be

In a million years

And all our failures are demons

We must conquer

If we are to be strong

Yeah

It's not just the looks that make these eyes sore

It's the lifestyle, baby

Not everybody gets to win

But I will win

'Cause I can win

Yeah, I will beat this thing for you

I will conquer

I will learn to be strong

But it's just noise that counts for nothing

Personal politics:

Empty words

It's just words,

Strong words that make us liars

Oh, we do it every time

Hack, hack away at your demons

But they still eat you alive

Now you've seen more than you wanted to know

You use staples to keep your eyes closed

People talk

Yeah, people talk and talk

They go on and on and on?

But it's just noise that counts for nothing

Personal politics:

Empty words

It's just pointless noise that makes us liars

Oh, we do it every time

I'd do anything for self-control

Sometimes

Death to all liars.

Death to us all.
