"Religion And Politics" lyrics

Five miles off exit 102
I don't make it back home much but when I do
We catch up on
Who's having a shotgun wedding and who's untying the knot
And whose friend of a friend just got arrested in the s-n-s parking lot

And ooh-ooh-ooh, the closer I get to that town
I-I-I know what's gonna come out of their mouths

Religion and politics are on the list
Of we don't speak of's
It always hits a nerve
So we learned what not to bring up
Hate how it brings me down
And damn I wish they knew not to talk about
Religion, politics and you

And how they thought that you were it
And who somebody saw you kissing, kissing
Like you used to kiss me, I know it'll hit me like a knife to the chest
We could pretend you never existed, not something I miss
And they can save their breath, yeah

Religion and politics are on the list
Of we don't speak of's
It always hits a nerve
So we learned what not to bring up
Hate how it brings me down
And damn I wish they knew not to talk about
Religion, politics and you

Moving on is something I can't listen to
Add it to the things we don't mention 'cause

Religion and politics are on the list
Of we don't speak of's
It always hits a nerve
So we've learned what not to bring up
Hate how it brings me down
And damn I wish they knew not to talk about
Religion politics and you

Whoa oh
Politics and you
Politics and you
