Became A Politician</strong></div><div style="margin:10px 0">My aim in life when growing up was to learn a trade, <br>A bricklayer or a plumber that would have me made, <br>I wanted all the trappings my earnings would then bring, <br>A lovely wife and children a home where I'd be king.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">Now I've served my time I find it really strange, <br>As a tradesman I don't earn enough I think it's time for change, <br>That home I've always dreamed of is too far out of sight, <br>The wife has not materialised I've really had a fright.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">I then went on a training course to become a civil engineer, <br>I thought my god I'll make it big then I'll look back and leer, <br>Little did I realise this was not enough, <br>With the cost of living rising my life got really tough.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">I then trained once again to make designer pottery, <br>Ii have to say I've failed once more I'll have to win the lottery, <br>If I don't make some money soon my landlord who's a louse, <br>Has said to me get on your bike I don't want you in my house.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">I then thought I've got it I'll become an electrician, <br>This was it I'd soon be rich I was on a mission, <br>Five years on I'm still alone in a tower block, <br>The money like the electrics has been a dreadful shock.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">I need to get a job now that will pay me loads of money, <br>I want it to be easy going I want it to be funny, <br>I've slaved for over twenty years and now I've got the itch, <br>To try a life in politics for they're all filthy rich. </div><div style="margin:10px 0">Then I seen the local news there was to be a bye election, <br>As I knew the chairman I'd ask him for selection, <br>He knew me really well for reasons he'd rather not, <br>But the info that I had on him left him rather fraught.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">His attitude towards me really was abrupt, <br>He said you'll make a good M.P. you're dishonest and corrupt, <br>I won the right to fight the seat at last I'd been selected, <br>When the votes were counted at last I'd been elected.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">When I entered politics and finally took my seat, <br>My earnings were enormous my life became so sweet, <br>Now I have my penthouse my wife and children too, <br>My mistress and my fancy jags I'm among the chosen few.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">I pay my wife to work for me my children and my dog, <br>No need to keep receipts or any financial log, <br>You even give me money for the maintenance on my boat, <br>Then you go and pay for a duck house for my moat.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">I thank you for the shaving cream and my fancy combs, <br>You even give me cash for flipping second homes, <br>That means the house you bought me you won't make money off it, <br>For I can sell it make a mint and keep the massive profit.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">I can claim for anything as I travel from coast to coast, <br>Claiming back what I say I've spent including tea and toast, <br>Travelling all around the world languishing in the sun, <br>Champagne and caviar each day this life is so much fun.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">Anything I want I put it on my expenses, <br>Regardless of what I buy the taxpayer recompenses, <br>One thing I don't agree with is travelling with the lower class, <br>So kindly dropp that notion on that one I will pass </div><div style="margin:10px 0">When they caught me fiddling I heard the speaker say, <br>Although you'll be suspended we'll let you keep your pay, <br>Whenever I'm caught stealing I need not fear the sack, <br>I just keep my head down and within a week I'm back.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">Telling you what we fiddle that we will not abide, <br>We'll tell you what is legal the rest of it we'll hide, <br>If I ever lose my seat that won't cause me tension, <br>I will then just walk away with my massive pension.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">Now I'll in live in comfort all my problems now have ceased, <br>I'll live my life of grandeur with all the cash I've fleeced, <br>Just when I think I'm finished with all the crossing swords, <br>I'm suddenly promoted to the illustrious House of Lords.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">I just show up here every day and the money that I reap, <br>Is paid for doing nothing as all I do is sleep, <br>The taxpayers must be off their heads as they don't seem to mind, <br>From the House of Lords to parliament we rob them bloody blind. </div><div style="margin:10px 0">As I'm rolling in the money now it's time to write my book, <br>Telling how I sold my soul and the morals I forsook, <br>I don't care a damn about the fact the system stinks, <br>As I am now his lordship who cares what you lot thinks.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">There is no hint of conscience for now I can be sure, <br>I'll never need to work again I never will be poor, <br>All the previous jobs I've had just gave me endless strife, <br>That is why I chose to be to be in politics for life.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">The most I made from other work was as a civil engineer, <br>Even then I struggled to buy myself a beer, <br>I've been a bricklayer and a plumber a potter and electrician, <br>But I didn't hit the big time till,
