“can I have a word” said the man,spoken like a toff
“you can have two,the second one is off”
“there must be an election due,
that’s the only time that we see you”
“I never trust a political chap,
blind you with science,fill your head with crap”
every four years they come out from under their stones
with helpers like something from the twilight zone
why do these people think they are better than us
they act so high and mighty,arrogant,pompous
they smile as they talk,can’t look you in the eye
never give a straight answer,just another hollow lie
their way of life is different to ours
it's scratch my back,I'll put a knife in yours
they'll tell you of their political stance
fill you so full of bull you don’t stand a chance
but don’t be fooled by this political spew
it’s all just meant to brainwash you
they’ll go to the meetings to play political games
most only go for the expenses they can claim
nod their heads and follow like sheep
sometimes they might as well go to sleep
promise you the earth if you give them your vote
but as soon as they get it your'e just a joke
greed feeds corruption from the bottom to the top
and like a drug their addicted, now they can’t stop
just there for the money,as much as they can get
and the people who voted they’ll soon forget
put them in office gave them their finest hour
they use it and abuse it,the greed and the power
drink the finest brandy,smoke expensive cigars
some even have chauffeured driven cars
they make one law for you,another for them
with corruption and arrogance they bend the system
claiming expenses for houses,expenses for flats
the working classes they get none of that
these toff's show contempt for the law of the land
the same laws that once went through their hands
a perfect example of a law for you and another for me
built on arrogance,selfishness and snobbery
they'll use you like a vampire,bleeding you dry
then when there's nothing left to take,it's over,goodbye
where you once were will be an empty void
just another face to avoid
their enemies they will verbally attack
but somebody else will put the knife in their back
a political life is like being on a pirate boat
there's always someone ready to cut your throat
always someone watching,somewhere on the deck
make a mistake and there's a noose around the neck
and when you fall out of favour and grace
there'll be another waiting to take your place
another faceless figure in the crowd
ready to step in,very pompous,very loud
like aliens these are neither woman or man
heartless,spineless creatures the politician
so unless you want to be bored,almost sent to sleep
with spouting promises they've no intention to keep
when from behind you this sound will be heard
“excuse me please can I have a word”
