Many Lies Are Told

Am I saying anything that is in any way that is new When I say dishonest politicians are not in the few Though many with this would surely disagree At least anyhow this is how it seems to me Most politicians are not graceful in any way About their political opponents they never have nice things to say To questions from reporters many of them give an evasive reply And for to lie and embellish most of them are not shy To say that honest politicians are few would not be a lie When they leave parliament they can live on their big pensions until the day they do die There are honest politicians as most would be aware But for to say the least their sort does seem rare In Parliament House one thing has not changed since the days of old At every parliamentary sitting many lies are told.
