Electric Six - Dark Politics Lyrics
Ooh!
Dark politics leads to the best drag
If you're sad about the mess we're in
For all the negatives about the Reichstag
Authoritarians beget subversion
Remember this when you get bummed out
So give your pretty painted eyes up to a virgin
As the fire rubs another one out on you
Ooh yeah!
When night just fell we've been here before
We can't find the keys to turn off the war
But the optimist in me is never sad
The glass is half full but the water tastes bad
And nobody cares how many books you've read
So just enjoy yourself and make some art
Then set it on fire and rip it apart
Smile! Smile!
It will be dark here for a good long while
And ooh there will be times when you want to die
Smile! Smile!
And even though you may be oozing bile
And ooh it's neutralised by the salty tears you cry
When Baron Von Shnitzel turned the last oven off
He left the lights on for Baron von Stroganoff
Who hopped the next junket down to Argentina
He had a baby boy who became a ballerina
She had enough one day and she joined the circus
She came to America, was forced to twerk
She had enough again and after some persistence
She switched teams and she joined the resistance
She danced for the emperor, danced for the king
Danced for the president, it's all the same thing
And when she got close enough to be on his arm
She became love in the form of a bomb BOOOM
Hey!
Woo!
Smile! Smile!
It will be dark here for a good long while
And ooh there will be times when you want to die
Smile! Smile!
Even though you may be oozing bile
And ooh it's neutralized by the salty tears you cry
The apocalypse will be televised
The revolution will be tossed aside
So pledge your allegiance to fat white guys
While the snowflakes run and hide
The streets are all filled with fire
As the soldiers come marching in
So just mind the fences and the barbed wire
And make nice with the side that wins
And oooooh! Oooh!
Dark politics walks the long plank
We'll go further than Tiananmen Square
For every Chinaman who stares down a big tank
There's a billion who just don't care
Now the hangman rings the broken bell
And the reaper he leads the dance
And the world spins around like a carousel
Never plays the musical chairs
Smile! Smile!
It will be dark here for a good long while
And ooh there will be times that you want to die
Smile! Smile!
And even though you may be oozing bile
And ooh it's neutralized by the salty tears you cry
Yeah!

Electric Six Dark Politics Comments
One of the best E6 songs!
This song shreds
Dark politics leads to the best drag
If you're sad about the mess we're in
For all the negatives about the Reichstag
Look what it did for East Berlin
Authoritarians beget subversion
Remember this when you get bummed out
So give your pretty painted eyes up to a virgin
As the fire rubs another one out on you
Ooh yeah!
When night just fell we've been here before
We can't find the keys to turn off the war
But the optimist in me is never sad
The glass is half full but the water tastes bad
'Cause the big lie has already spread
And nobody cares how many books you've read
So just enjoy yourself and make some art
Then set it on fire and rip it apart
Smile! Smile!
It will be dark here for a good long while
And ooh there will be times when you want to die
Smile! Smile!
And even though you may be oozing bile
And ooh it's neutralised by the salty tears you cry
When Baron Von Shnitzel turned the last oven off
He left the lights on for Baron von Stroganoff
Who hopped the next junket down to Argentina
He had a baby boy who became a ballerina
She had enough one day and she joined the circus
She came to America, was forced to twerk
She had enough again and after some persistence
She switched teams and she joined the resistance
She danced for the emperor, danced for the king
Danced for the president, it's all the same thing
And when she got close enough to be on his arm
She became love in the form of a bomb BOOOM
Hey!
Woo!
Smile! Smile!
It will be dark here for a good long while
And ooh there will be times when you want to die
Smile! Smile!
Even though you may be oozing bile
And ooh it's neutralized by the salty tears you cry
The apocalypse will be televised
The revolution will be tossed aside
So pledge your allegiance to fat white guys
While the snowflakes run and hide
The streets are all filled with fire
As the soldiers come marching in

And make nice with the side that wins
And oooooh! Oooh!
Dark politics walks the long plank

Smile! Smile!

And ooh there will be times that you want to die
Smile! Smile!
And even though you may be oozing bile
And ooh it's neutralized by the salty tears you cry
Yeah!
Never disappoints!!!
God, this song is so fucking clever.
