lyrics

I’m Not Political
(Carlson/Downing/Gascoyne)

Every day she wakes up in her room
Looks for me and her match and spoon
Christmas time comes too soon
I would say some more
But I’m not political

Mathilda Jones all dressed up in black
Two bottles of rum and a $50 hat
I don’t know where she gets all that
I would say some more
But I’m not political

There's a man on TV who can walk through fire
Steal money from the sick, and still get higher
Praises God with his church choir
I could say some more
But I'm no assassin

Jungle Jim's got scars on his back
Seventy pounds of bricks and a buzzard and a bat
They say he's free, where do they get all that
I could say some more but I'm not political

Crazy man with no pants in the streets
He makes love with whoever he meets
Down and out with politicians and freaks
Down and out with politicians and freaks
