Please don't take me as I am
I am not a simple man
Most folk can't understand
My candor
I can't help but tell the truth
Even if that means I'll hurt you
I can't bring myself to pander
Most people are just a dose
A dirty shower of sleazy bastards
For instance this man I knew
Swore to me that he would do
What he could to make life easy
Then I caught him hands as red
As his blood his face his head
In the cookie jar and stealing
Turns out he's a pathological
And insidious thieving bastard
These days people aren't something
I recognise
And in their eyes
I can see the truth that's hidden
In behind
The projected plight
Seems the world has descended
Into a shower of fickle bastards
It could be that I am wrong
Perhaps this is just a song
Every line a moment captured
But I am not the man I was
And it's because of sleazy bastards
