O You Hypocrites!

O you hypocrites!

You know who you are.

When it comes to honor,

How you've lowered the bar!

 

What? Have you no shame?

What’s happened to your pride?

You pretend your actions

Can be justified.

 

How you love to blame

Others for things you do!

You shun the use of facts

And cherish what’s untrue.

 

Often what you praise

Is reprehensible;

What you try to defend

Is indefensible.

 

Has your commitment to truth

Always been a lie?

Has your level of fraud

Always been this high?

Your songs of double-dealing

Echo through the halls.

You hide your smug expression

Behind congressional walls.

 

Is hypocrisy

What many people might call

One of your job requirements?

If so, you give your all.

 

After hearing your nonsense

Day after day,

How can people believe

A single word you say?
