Reprehensible Sugar

Sweet tea and tongues spill the cream.
Loose lips chew ice cubes and a story,
twisting it slightly to fire up a regime. 

Unsettling words come out in a stream
becoming more and more accusatory.
Sweet tea and tongues spill the cream. 

Getting jollies while cooking a scheme
they sell something as simple as glory. 
Twisting it slightly to fire up a regime. 

Reprehensible behavior to redeem? 
Nope. It never fits into that category.
Sweet tea and tongues spill the cream.  

Add sugar leave out a clear cut theme,
providing clarity is never mandatory. 
Twisting it slightly to fire up a regime. 

Bored so they want to blow off steam.
All  of the dialog? I've taken inventory. 
Sweet tea and tongues spill the cream,
twisting it slightly to fire up a regime.
