So my friend, you would a politician be

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

Of Love & Loss
