The Politicans Cry

Not once have I lied, not once have I stolen Not once have I made a mistake in my life Not once was I bribed, not once been beholden Not once have I cheated on my faithful wife Not once did a deal that was under the table Not once did I seek to fatten my purse Not once was I less than ever so able Not once did I swear or bluster or curse Not once did I drive when I had been drinking Not once did I lie when election time came Not once did I hide what I had been thinking When some one had asked ‘Are all voters the same?’ Not once did I crawl to powerful nations Not once did I sell out the people I serve Not once did I seek to put friends in high stations Not once when confronted did I lose my nerve Not once did I seek to create a distraction When things went awry and the polls forecast gloom Not once did I hide an honest reaction Not once did I make up a story of doom Not once did I sell out my country for money Not once will I pay for the sum of my crimes The people are fools, Oh I think it’s so funny! Not once did I say? It was hundreds of times! Inspired by ex-Prime Minister of Australia, John Howard and dedicated to politicians in general and the lies they constantly tell...
