The Waster

My tongue is loosened by champagne
but I speak as I do everything 
for all the world to know

and I admit to all your accusations 

I do things in the open
while you do them secretly
do you deny that

and I admit to all your accusations 

Take a drink my friend
say what you have in your heart - but you never drink
you never say - because you are afraid of what you have in your heart

and I admit to all your accusations 

You call me a fool and a sinner - granted 
but so are you - you are everything that I am 
plus one more sin - hypocrisy my friend

and I admit to all your accusations
