Adams, Ryan - Political Scientist Lyrics
He is drinking water from the faucet from the river
From the tributary it comes through rusted pipes
Outside his window he sees the water that's supposed to be clean
By the chemicals polluted by the candy factory lines
Someplace on the edge of town
Is where they live --
Political scientists
So now she is crawling on her hands and her knees
She is dirtying her jeans choking on her own perfume
With a pen she writes below the sink in someone's restaurant
This place is inconvenient for my name
She forgets to write it anyway
She forgets to write it anyway
The government supplies the cocaine
There's no guarantees
There's no guarantees
There's no guarantees
Banging hard upon a crooked drum
She feels them tearing down Salvation Army houses back in Michigan
Her husband's divorced but he treats her that way of course
Because he needs her just like he needs medicine
She forgets to write him anyway
She forgets to write him anyway
What's red and white and nearly over
Political scientist
Political scientist
Political scientist
There's no guarantees
There's no guarantees
There's no guarantees

Adams, Ryan Political Scientist Comments
here from friday night lights
this one in combination with calexico....should be wow!
Boring af
Vnarves die
why did u have to bring me back to this war for the planet of the apes equivalent of generic artistic feces Charles...why?
Damn ... this song is so fantastic. Hadn't heard it in awhile but - wow! Mind is blown once more.
This was the point here where Ryan Adams was still relevant :(
Uhm ... have you been following the EP releases? They're pretty much ALL brilliant and his eponymous 2013 album earned him some of the best reviews of his career and made him a bunch of new fans. He's still wholly relevant.
so does this song really have ties to the white stripes and or Jack white?
@Jonas311fan Meg's last name is originally White. Jack is the one that changed his to White, and has kept it.
@3:29...that little guitar break...one of my favorite parts of the song.
this album is my go to for everything
Great song. Friday Night Lights S01 E17. Tim Riggins
Just watched it great show man live a good life
Goddamn riggins...great character!
@HeadlightMorningGlow For me as well, totally crazy how some hipster reviewsites were putting this album down back in the days. We're 2011 now and Love Is Hell IS in my top 3 best albums of the last decade
@Jonas311fan thank you very much. makes it much more comprehensible.
the guitars at the end remind me of 'Anna Karina' By Pell Mell
un tuffo nel passato...!
@MasterOctagon i know the lyrics and know what a political sientist is. last one is not one who makes political decisions like supplying cocaine. i still dont get it. maybe you are so kind to explain.
@sunzsu look up political scientist and look up the meaning of this song
One of my favorite songs... why has this not got more views?
i dont get it. why "political scientist" ?
I just heard part of the song featured on Season 1/Episode 17 of Friday Night Lights and went out and bought the CD right away. Thanks for letting me listen to this while I wait for the CD to arrive!
@HeadlightMorningGlow : Yeah! I agree!!
I loveeeeeeeeee this song! thank u for adding it!
Love Is Hell: the best album of this decade.
