Shopping for Reform.
I’d like to buy some snake oil please
It’s sure to make my problems ease
A spoonful too of sugared truth
& a sticking plaster for my roof.
I’m looking for a bunch of lies
a costumed coat of foul disguise
and hoping you can sort me out
with things that I can shout about.
Half a pound of forged excuses
Buy one get one free on nooses
a quarter pound of bogus blame
To help me sharpen up my aim.
I bought last week a box of hate
and threw it at my neighbours gate
I’d like to buy another box
some enmity and a pile of rocks.
Do you still sell vitriol?
I gave my own to Israel
I’d like to have some just in case
I chance upon the master race.
I’d like to buy some fireworks
Some medals and some rightwing perks
A Molotov with cocktail fuse
some horrid latent racist views.
And finally I hope you sell
A map which shows the way to hell
A plastic bag to put it in
and a balm to thicken up my skin.
Ooops I’ve lost my other list
The one which gives the truth a twist
I hope that you can see the gist
and help me to relax my fist.
