Hypocrisy

Sat on the stool i viewed in disgust, the length of her skirt, I hope there is no gust. I turn to the kid's, in there ear i would hover, "Hey kid's never judge a book by it's cover". I turn to the left and I'm taken quite ill, I spy three young lads, seeing one pop a pill. I can't quite believe what I'v seen over here, As the barman pulls me another cold beer. I step to one side as the punk goes to pass, My gosh what a state, it's totally crass. "look mum there goes that guy in the pink", "Now children don't stare, it's rude don't you think?". It's hard being a parent, show what's right and wrong, Each class, creed and color, we sing the same song. Don't be judgemental, you should always be nice, I'm an English hypocrite, I ignore my advice.
