Nonstick Coating

He’s the Politician’s politician Amazing all with the ease He cruises through public life Somehow avoiding all the sleaze. It seems he’s Teflon coated Pulling all the dirty tricks Yet when it comes to blame No accusation ever sticks. Loud voiced and abusive He slides easily through life And only a naïve fool would Trust him anywhere near his wife. With his quick release zipper And his foul arrogant way He’s your modern party leader Reflecting the morals of today. He’s the maker of the rules But thinks it rather absurd Few realise they’re not for him But just for the common herd. So, all stand to attention And wave your Union Flags While he behind the scenes Fills his bulging money bags. It’s the public double standards He supposedly really hates While not far behind the scene he Shovels cash out to his mates. He’s the Politician’s politician Whose luck never seems to fail When in any just society he’d Be languishing long term in jail.

i assume you're referring to someone (or many someones) across the pond from where i live, but i know the politician this describes perfectly in the usa and it is infuriating that he never seems to pay his dues...
