when the politicians open their traps
we're fed a diet of political crap
they think they are out smarting us
with the unpalatable stuff they feed us
we're wise to the diatribe which is shoved
down our necks every 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 nasty tasting 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 respect anything that they utter
when all 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 fast losing all respectability
which does little for their publicity
their bluntness in the bear pit
we'll not have a bar of it
