Johny is a g-man he's got secrets up his sleeve
He's got an arsenal and sends it where he needs to
He's got contracts with all the boys
he topples governments with dignity and poise
Y'know I read the news- and got these hardcore blues
Bill's political and he deserves respect
he belongs to the club-he signs Albert's checks
Making promises he knows he can't keep
than the trouble starts he's in way too deep
Marilyn's a bad girl
high office is her pleasure
She's quite political and fairs well in stormy weather
She knows everything like who supplies the dope
she'll survive tragically while our country goes broke
Y'know I read the news and got these hardcore blues
