The Lyrics
Insincere people, and the reality TV shows that sometimes encourage them, are not my cup of tea.
He's workin' overtime
In his pants, jacket and shoes so fine
Been lovin' parties, fooling around
Proving devilishly hard to find
Our empty fridge you won't find it
They're more full out in Pygmy Land, oh whoa
Night time is boring or exciting
Our credit card's at twenty grand, oh whoa
Try not to lose it,
You did not choose it,
Find facts then prove it.
Try not to lose it,
You did not choose it,
Find facts then prove it.
The cheat test
Is for sleazy guys
Who sleep round for a lark
The cheat test
Straps these pigs to buzzing deckchairs in Iraq (*)
Behaving like you're on Big Brother
Really shatters hearts
Every girl deserves her man's respect
There are better ways to work things out
Sweet then uptight and gushing then tough
And she answers things all roundabout
Mention the courier, she gets upset
Can't stand to see me 'round or hear me out
Try not to lose it,
You did not choose it,
Find facts then prove it.
The cheat test
Is for skanky girls
Who sleep round for a lark
The cheat test
Straps these pigs to buzzing deckchairs in Iraq (*)
Behaving like you're on Big Brother
Really shatters hearts
Every guy deserves his girl's respect
There are better ways to work things out
(Musical Interlude)
Try not to lose it,
You did not choose it,
Find facts then prove it.
The cheat test
Is for shifty types
Who sleep round for a lark
The cheat test
Straps these pigs to buzzing deckchairs in Iraq (*)
Behaving like you're on Big Brother
Really shatters hearts
Society decays without respect
We all need to try to work things out
The cheat test
What's your game?
Confiding, breaking hearts?
(Fade out)
