about

A character portrait of a duplicitous dude who'll take you for a ride

lyrics

Drop your double standard, I’m a man of merit
If you deflect the blame, that’s what you inherit
Yeh the apple might not fall far from the tree but
Don’t deliver your double standard with me
Check the log in your eye, you can't see yourself
Savin’ face, can’t think about anyone else
Like a bull at a gate with your pompous pride
And then you just run and hide
Can’t see the big picture while you’re stuck up your arse
Lost your moral compass up there too, it’s a farce
Call it, lip service, but you ain’t made a sound
Huff and puff and blow the house down
Drop your double standard, be a man of merit
If you deflect the blame, that’s what you inherit
It’s true the apple don’t fall far from the tree but
Don’t de-liver your double standard with me
Pissin’ and moanin’ while you talk about me
Bein’ the villain, you the victim, but you play dirty
All guns blazing what you tryin’ to fix?
With your smoke and mirror politics
The way you run your mouth is double dutch
I do a double take on how you talk so much
Double trouble, double barrel, double whammy award
I’m doubled over in pain from your double edged sword
Drop your double standard, be a man of merit
If you deflect the blame, that’s what you inherit
It’s true the apple don’t fall far from the tree but
Don’t deliver your double standard double standard now
Drop your double standard, I’m a man at work
Tryin’ to figure out how not to be a jerk
You might have reasons that you can’t even see but
Don’t deliver your double standard with me
