And a great one from Gina, and you might need to be Irish and know about Bertie to get this one:<\/p>\n
I was petrified
\nKept thinking Mahon would find out
\nAbout my takings on the side
\nAnd I spent so many nights
\nThinking how I got it wrong
\nBut I grew strong
\nWhen I learned how to play along
\nBut then the banks
\nThose fecking gays
\nThey went and showed the jaysis court
\nThat I got cash from the UK
\nI shouldn’t have lodged that bloody sterling
\nI could’ve spent it on me holidays
\nIf I had known for just one second
\nAll the questions it would raise
\nSo off I go, I’ll walk out the door
\nI’ll go to ground now
\n‘Cause I’m not welcome anymore
\nWeren’t you the ones who said it’s time to say goodbye?
\nHealth service crumbled
\nProperty market died
\nOh no! Now I
\nI will resign
\nNow the shit has hit the fan
\nAnd the country’s in decline
\nI’ve done my share of theft
\nAnd no credibility left
\nSo I’ll resign
\nI will resign
\nIt took all the guile I had
\nTo look the injured part
\nKeep trying to pretend
\nThe public broke my heart
\nAnd I spend oh so many nights
\nJust looking sorry for myself
\nBut I’m good at lyin’
\nInside I’m laughing all the time
\nAnd you’ll soon see me
\nSomebody new
\nI’ll get my government pension
\nHey I’m not done with screwing you
\nI know how to milk the state
\nI learned all yer tricks, Haughey
\nNow I’m saving all my backhanders
\nFor an island off Kerry
\nHo ho! Now I
\nI will resign
\nAnd I’ll get three hundred grand
\nInstead of doing any time
\nI’ve got an easy life to live
\nTwo fu*ks I couldn’t give
\nAbout your cryin’
\nWhen I resign…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
