when our politicians open their traps
we're fed a diet of political crap
they think that they are out smarting us
with the unpalatable stuff they feed us

we're wise to the diatribe that's shoved down our necks each day
we wont be fooled by anything they say
our Prime Minister stood up in parliament
to tell the honorable members to be of a kinder bent

but in the next breath
he got out his not so pleasant mace
to give the opposition leader
a bit of it in the face

well that doesn't sit well with the public at all
as they don't much like seeing an all in brawl
the politicians should be less rough
as their verbal insults can be too tough

they should be practicing what they preach
instead of going well beyond the breach
how can we believe a thing that they utter
when all that they say is best kept in the gutter

our politicians are far from a good crew
all too often their distasteful jibes make us stew
they are losing all respectability
which does little for their publicity

their bluntness in the bear pit
we'll not have a bar of it

I was always a needle kind of ******.
My friends thought I was crazy, and I suppose I was.
They say to take baby steps,
but addiction never works like they say it should, does it?
I went from *** to pills to blow to needles just like that.

It was nice though,
seeing how I've always been a fan of instant gratification.
Tie the knot, heat the junk, wet the cotton, **** it up, slap the veins, stick it in, get high.
Easy as pie, nothing can be simpler.
Nothing could be more complicated.
I've been home for ten minutes,
and I promised myself this score would last me through the week.
I'll be happy if it lasts the night.

My track marks were starting to fade,
due in part to probation,
and also in part to the love I've been surrounded with.
Who needs to shoot up when you have people to love you?
Me.
A ******.
A loser.

I would like a million things,
and a million more,
but why would I want things,
when I can score.
Nothing could be simpler.
Nothing could be more complicated.
