Annotation
Mr. Politician Man (Roman, Mike) Novelty, country. Anti-LBJ - you said you'd end the war in Vietnam and other problems. But all lies. Reference to demonstrations, drugs, hippies, civil rights.
Annotation by Justin A. Brummer
Lyrics
English: Told the voters when you met them, you would solve the war in Viet Nam, Does your starch wilt when you let off all that steam?
