Peaches and Crime — Bastard Tango lyrics

Lyrics

Experience has taught me men are bastards & furthermore that women are all
shrews
That every kid’s a brat that should be smothered but come now, you know none of
this is news
The friends you know to be your boon companions will throw you to the wolves at
the first chance
And so friends, lets all dance the bastard tango. You must admit,
it’s just your kind of dance.
You’ll find your hate outweighs your love. It has to date, so take all you can
snatch!
All men of vice, are simply men. Heed this advice: All heroes are but villains
we don’t catch
Pretending that you’ll play with others nicely seems to have helped exactly no
one yet
So if you plan to make your way in this world you’ll have to give at least all
that you get
The biggest crooks are those who sit in judgment & honest men have never yet
been found
So play the game and play it well and often until they put you six feet
underground
For those of you who claim to be exceptions & claim to arbitrate what’s right
and wrong
Confess the truth you think you are concealing; You make it all up as you go
along
Why yes I guess we’re all bad as each other which makes our course of action
plain to see
Let’s all join in, come dance the bastard tango. At least you’ll know you’re in
bad company.
