The World Is Full of Bastards

He said, "Mary is the rarest gem

And she's the wildest flower.

I'll make my Mary merrier

With every passing hour."

So I made a certain sacrifice

As soon as we were through

I said, "Your Mary loves you, lad."

And he said, "'Mary' who?"

You don't know if an apple's rotten

'Til you take a bite

You don't know if there's breakfast comin'

'Til you spend the night

And I'm sure I'll kiss my share of frogs

Before my time is done

The world is full of bastards

And I've dated every one

Eh, the lad was oh-so-generous

Much more than you would think

He didn't have a license

But he still drove me to drink

And I had no insecurities

So he gave me some of his

But I didn't need his sorrow, man

I'm Irish as it is

You don't know if the beer is bitter

'Til you buy a glass

You don't know if your peace of mind

Is just a piece of ass

And I'm sure I'll kiss my share of frogs

Before my time is done

The world is full of bastards

And I've dated every one
