Lyrics
I WANT A JOB WITH GOOD EXPENSES
SO I'D LIKE TO BE A POLITICIAN!
BUT, I DON'T THINK I'D QUALIFY
THEN I REMEMBERED I'M QUITE INSINCERE
SO I THINK I'D BE PERFECT FOR THE JOB!

CHORUS
I'VE BEEN TAUGHT HOW TO FLIP
AND I'M PRETTY GOOD AT LYING
AND MY SPINNING'S SECOND TO NONE
AND I DON'T MIND CROCADILE CRYING!
______________________
VERSE
I'VE BEEN TAKING BACK HANDERS FOR A WHILE
I'M IMBEDDED IN TO DOUBLE DEALING
I'M SURE THERE ARE HONEST ONES AROUND
IT'S JUST THAT THE'RE NOT VERY THICK ON THE GROUND
GOD I WISH THE PUBLIC WOULDN'T TOUCH ME!

CHORUS
I'VE BEEN TAUGHT HOW TO FLIP
AND I'M PRETTY GOOD AT LYING
AND MY SPINNING'S SECOND TO NONE
AND I DON'T MIND CROCADILE CRYING!

VERSE
I DON'T BELIEVE IN WHAT I SAY
BUT THE MONEY COMING IN IS FANTASTIC
IF I CAN LAST TIL THE NEXT SESSION
THEN MY SECOND MORTGAGE'S PAID!
