Hypocrisy

Well I live in magnificent splendour I am honoured wherever I go I sit in my ivory tower And pass judgement on all those below I criticise government actions Though nobody elected me I always want more and I cadge from the poor My organisations tax-free I criticised all bankers bonus Shout for more equal shares of the pot In reality we are far richer And what’s more were keeping the lot I preach that we are all equal And demand laws that heed what I say But I’m just a snob for your barred from top job If you’re female or worse still your gay Who am I? Have I got you guessing? Well believe me I have no remorse For the habit I have of cross-dressing I am an Archbishop of course!!!!!!!!!!
