Politics & Party Tricks

[Verse 1]
It's the right situation and I'm a well adjusted guy
I walk into the room and I'm on
I sneak outside and light a spliff and then it hits me
Are they talking about me while I'm gone?

I don't remember who I met or who I drank with
I'm so preoccupied with how I appear
I can't be anywhere without being somewhere else
So I always miss what's happening here

[Chorus]
Politics and party tricks
I'm guessing who they want me to be
All I ever think about is what everybody's thinking of me
(Nobody's thinking of me)
I'm here, I'm stoned, I'm halfway home
But will they invite me back if I leave?
All I ever think about is what everybody's thinking of me
Nobody's thinking of me

Oooh oooh
Oooh oooh
Oooh oooh

[Verse 2]
I hate charades
I hate myself
I hate when movies take forever and then someone [?]
I hate the beach
I hate when someone's mad at me
Most of all I'm scared that I hate my friends

Cause they look awfully nonchalant in conversation
And then it pauses and I've got nothing to say
I take a breath and make a joke at my expense
Because if they laugh I'm probably doing okay

[Chorus]
Politics and party tricks
I'm guessing who they want me to be
All I ever think about is what everybody's thinking of me
(Nobody's thinking of me)
I'm here, I'm stoned, I'm halfway home
But will they invite me back if I leave?
All I ever think about is what everybody's thinking of me
Nobody's thinking of me

[Outro]
Politics Oooh oooh
Party tricks Oooh oooh
Politics Oooh oooh
Party tricks Oooh oooh
