Well listen now - and
carefully
Where only fools and horses
tread
A politician leaps ahead
They sing a sweet song of our
glorious land
How they fight for your
rights, it sounds very grand
They'll send you to war with a
song and a gun
When you die abroad, they say
we have won
They say that this Earth is a
beautiful place
While dumping their rubbish
upon the world’s face
"We're fighting for peace"
they say with a grin
Yet weapons are sold - not
caring who wins
They tax you for ciggies,
whisky and drink
They even put tax on the way
that you think
They tax you for walking, for
singing and crying
Then when you are dead,
they've taxed you for dying
So my friend, you would a
politician be
Than I hope you can lie quite
easily
I hope you can cheat and
deceive while you think
Because
my friend - I think they all
stink
