you can't live on principles alone


The praises of principles
In the ideal world it works
There will be no intolerance
Everyone will accept

In the real world
You can’t live on principles alone
You will be criticised in uncertain terms
You aren’t the perfect one to tell

The world we live in
It surrounds by politicians
The good, the bad and the ugly
We have to vote the ones we feel like

The politicians can’t talk of principles
In the political game it is to win
By all the methods on availability
Even principles have to bend the way

Otherwise nothing will be achieved
It is always the talking and meeting
Nothing fruitful will return
If one stays on principles forgetting the bigger picture

In the real world of politics
Our principles will play within the game
It will be hard but as politicians
The sacrifices need to be displayed
