about

To hopefully, help you smile despite uncertain political times

lyrics

I Watched a film late, last night
Called "Get me Roger Stone"
He's Trump's Joker alright
Trump Couldn't have done it alone

Chorus
Politic's a dirty game
It's always been so
The more we see
The less we know

48 per cent of the UK voted to stay
Within the EU
But 52 per cent voted out
I have no doubt, we need alignment
for us to succeed

Politic's a dirty game
It's always been so
The more we see
The less we know

They sell fear, and doubt
To give themselves clout
Falsehoods are
Their stock in trade

Politics a dirty game
It's always been so
The more we see
The less we know

Punky bit

They smile for the camera
Shake hands with anyone
Don't need to be respected
So long as they're elected

Social media
Amplifies the dirt
Meanwhile
Real people get hurt

Blind delusion upsets us
But some of them really care
Let's Hope for a correction
Before the next election

Remember Watergate
And the Vietnam War
The Suez Crisis
And much more

Politics a dirty game
It's always been so
The more we see
The less we know

Not all politicians are bad
It's rather sad that it
Just looks that way
Maybe our system’s broken

Reject the nonsense
Promote reality
For our sanity
Keeping our stress levels down

Politics a dirty game
It's always been so

about

Robin and Friends London, UK

My musical journey began when I gave an unrehearsed and impromptu after dinner speech to music at UCL Computer Science Department's 35th Gala Dinner.
Thanks Kari and Nina for getting me started. The paintings are also my work to reflect the emotion of the song. ... more
