The Law Is Rotten To The Core
Woe to lawyers everywhere,
At justice you're a failure,
From Texas to Australia,
Your procedures are unfair,
But you don't seem to care.
You jail the innocent,
Based on fake convictions,
You fail the innocent,
Through lies and legal fictions,
In all the jurisdictions.
People lose their liberty,
Due to juries full of fools,
Condemned to live in misery,
By your stupid legal rules,
Learned in good-for-nothing schools.
You know that juries get it wrong,
You know they've badly erred,
You've let...

Don't Buy The Lie
Reject all boozing with a passion,
Just don't care that it's in fashion,
No matter what the others think,
Don't make a stupid choice to drink.
There's so much more to life than booze,
So many better things to choose,
So many reasons to refuse,
To drink a drop of boring booze.
Don't let your life go down the drain,
Don't cause yourself or others pain,
Or let you life be steered by beer,
Nor let it ruin your career.
Don't let it be your destiny,
That's not the way life's meant to be.
Booze isn't cool, there is no high, ...
Just don't care that it's in fashion,
No matter what the others think,
Don't make a stupid choice to drink.
There's so much more to life than booze,
So many better things to choose,
So many reasons to refuse,
To drink a drop of boring booze.
Don't let your life go down the drain,
Don't cause yourself or others pain,
Or let you life be steered by beer,
Nor let it ruin your career.
Don't let it be your destiny,

He Felt So Heavy In His Coffin
Just another young man dead,
He could have been alive instead,
To do the things he planned to do,
And help some other people too.
But no, he went and drank some beer,
And now he is no longer here.
He lost his future, lost his life,
He'll never have a child or wife.
There'll be no more of anything,
No more joys that life can bring,
No more feeling, no more thought,
No more life of any sort.
And all because he drank some beer.
How I wish he was still here,
I wish that beer was gone instead.
And that alcohol was...
He could have been alive instead,
To do the things he planned to do,
And help some other people too.
But no, he went and drank some beer,
And now he is no longer here.
He lost his future, lost his life,
He'll never have a child or wife.
There'll be no more of anything,
No more joys that life can bring,
No more feeling, no more thought,
No more life of any sort.
And all because he drank some beer.
How I wish he was still here,
I wish that beer was gone instead.
And that alcohol was...

We Have The Power To End The Trend
Booze takes away the ones we love,
That is the main thing that it does,
It takes away our family,
And kills so cruel and callously.
It is completely out of hand,
And so we’ve got to take a stand,
Against a deadly industry,
That’s bent on spreading misery.
They push their booze to kids and youth,
They push a drug, to tell the truth,
Through shameful advertising lies.
They profit from the ruined lives.
We just can’t say that it’s okay,
With people dying every day.
We have to take these bastards...

If
If you hate the taste of booze, then don’t use it,
If you hate the taste of booze, just refuse it,
If you really don’t enjoy it, then you might as well avoid it,
If you hate the taste of booze then don’t choose it.
If you think that booze is boring, then don’t buy it,
If you think that booze is boring, then don’t try it,
Have good times you won’t forget, not disasters you’ll regret,
If you think that booze is boring, then defy it.
If you want to save some money, don’t buy booze,
If you want to have more money, cut out booze,
If you...

How To Save Lives Every Day
If you're wondering whatever it is you should do,
Then wonder no more, there’s a purpose for you.
‘Cause the answer to questions of what it all means,
Is far from as hard as it frequently seems,
It’s loving your neighbour as if they were you,
And treating all people as you'd be done to.
You don't have to engage in some deep sort of thought,
In sum and in short, simply do what you ought.
The things that you should - it's that simple you see,
That's all there is to it, but don't take it from me,
You can tell for yourself if you just start to do...

Topless Women On The Shore
Topless women on the shore,
So many breasts and bums galore,
I've never seen such sights before.
Topless women by the score,
All of them without a flaw.
Pretty women in the raw,
The prettiest I ever saw,
I am so glad they flout the law,
I sure hope there's many more.

Ways To Woo A Woman
There're many ways to woo a chick,
And here are some to do the trick,
A set of tools to help you out,
To make her yours beyond all doubt.
To get you started in your quest,
The first technique that I suggest,
Is have a shower or two each week,
She may reject you if you reek.
It's mostly not so hard to tell,
If a man is prone to smell.
And when it comes to love, bad breath,
Can often be the kiss of death.
So don't get into such a rush
You fail to give your teeth a brush.
Now if one day you chance to spot,
A woman who...

Bullshit From The Pulpit
How fitting, then, it is that pulpit,
Rhymes exactly with total bullshit:
The priests who think they are elite,
Are called to get things wrong again,
And shout out loud their pure deceit,
So blind of heart and blind of brain.
Pulling wool across our eyes,
With sermons full of foolish lies,
They know the truth by less than half,
And lead us up the garden path.
There words are nothing more than chaff,
And surely make the devil laugh.

A Cancer On Society
I hate all boozing with a passion,
I just don't care if it’s in fashion,
No matter what the others think,
I don’t respect the choice to drink.
Booze is a drug that only leads,
To cruel and cowardly crimes and deeds,
A rotten lie, one big mistake,
A sham, a scam, so false and fake.
A cancer on societies,
Which causes all varieties,
Of deaths and pain to those who choose,
To never drink a drop of booze.

Mistress Of My Distress
You're the mistress of my distress,
My life is turning into
A life of mega misery,
And it's all because of you.
You are a drain, a downright pain,
A never ending nag,
I buy you treats but you just treat
Me like a punching bag.
Today you chose to throw your shoes,
Causing me great sorrow.
Who knows what you will choose to
Hurl at me tomorrow?
You aren't mature, I can't endure
Your petulant display,
I buy you lunch, but you just punch
Me harder anyway.
I am in danger from your anger,
You say you...
My life is turning into

And it's all because of you.

Causing me great sorrow.

Does It Matter If Lives Are Shattered?
The battered wives, the shattered lives,
The broken homes, the broken bones,
The families marred, the victims scarred,
The babes in wombs who will not bloom,
Young men in tombs, who died too soon,
The blood that's spilled, the people killed,
Who met their doom, from booze consumed.
The tragic scenes, the ruined dreams,
The hearts that break, the souls that ache,
The loved ones gone, the toll goes on,
When will it stop? The death toll tops
All wars combined, and do we mind?
Does it matter lives are shattered?
Let's take a stand...
The broken homes, the broken bones,
The families marred, the victims scarred,
The babes in wombs who will not bloom,

The tragic scenes, the ruined dreams,
The hearts that break, the souls that ache,
The loved ones gone, the toll goes on,
When will it stop? The death toll tops
All wars combined, and do we mind?
