Honesty Is My Policy

I told Candace Walter's cheating
I told Megan she was fat
I said Gail's looks are fleeting
And that's such an ugly hat

I told Dan his son's a loser
And his wife is scarfing pills
I told Frankie he's a boozer
They should pay me for my skills

I told Ted his breath is frightful
It could make an angel cry
The truth is so delightful
I'm a great and fearless guy

I'm tenacious and observant
I refuse to pull my punches
I'm a real public servant
They should honor me at lunches

I'm a paladin of virtue
In a world of falsity
If reality can hurt you
You're a fool for blaming me
