Backstabbing Time (Lyrics)
Now that you’ve betrayed your conscience
Now that you’ve betrayed your soul
I’m here at the bar to tell them
That I knew you when you was a prole
Now it’s raining fire from heaven
Now my throat is hot and dry
I can’t find the words to damn you
But I will bring you down as time goes by
Every Friday evening it is
Backstabbing time
Backstabbing time
We both came from simple backgrounds
I know you still can’t read or write
But your collected works fill 50 volumes
We’re handed out your speeches to recite
You’ve probably heard how I abuse you
But do you know this tongue of steel
Isn’t just a way of talking
The weight inside my pocket is quite real
I’ll be a national hero until
Backstabbing time
