Experience has taught me men are bastards & furthermore that women are all shrews
That every kidâs 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, itâs just your kind of dance.
Youâll 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 donât catch
Pretending that youâll play with others nicely seems to have helped exactly no one yet
So if you plan to make your way in this world youâll 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 whatâs right and wrong
Confess the truth you think you are concealing; You make it all up as you go along
Why yes I guess weâre all bad as each other which makes our course of action plain to see
Letâs all join in, come dance the bastard tango. At least youâll know youâre in bad company.
