Bastard
...got out of bed on the wrong side of town
with all your intimates scattered around.
You look for him
but he's not to be found.
That's why he's a bastard.
He told you he was a trader by day.
He had a million or two tucked away.
But when the cheque came,
he asked you to pay.
That's why he's a bastard.
All his lines
about your curves.
No, this is not what you deserve
and you know that it's true
but no-one else can see you through
yeah, in the end it's up to you.
He says he's 'sensitive, open, sincere
and anyone who don't think so's a queer'
He's only harmless alone
(without beer.)
That's why he's a bastard.
He can't be bothered to refill your glass.
Too busy x-raying some bunny's ass
but he's convinced your guy friend made a pass.
That's why he's a bastard.
All his lines...
You are his plaything to bat 'tween his paws
and he considers your outfit just cause.
And guys like him made up all of our laws
That's why he's a bastard.
You've got to look out the foremost for you
'cause you know that's just what HE'S going to do.
You can't believe that you'll ever get through.
That's why he's a bastard.
Oh, once maybe love set your instincts aspin
but do you want to climb further out on that limb?
To wind up the lesser of someone like him?
That's why he's a bastard.
That's why he's a bastard.
That's why he's a bastard.
Amen.
