Don’t kiss the badge

1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 Parade all you like when your shot’s in the net
Show off all your cash as you board your own jet.

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 Enjoy your Ferrari, your Porsche or Rolls Royce
Court the papparazi when out with the boys.

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 But one thing I ask as your future you hedge
Whatever you do, just don’t kiss the badge.

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 You don’t really mean it, it’s all just for show
If more money’s offered, how quickly you’ll go.

5 Leave a comment on verse 5 0 It’s all too theatrical, shallow, a sham
But then, I suppose, it helps you get more jam.

6 Leave a comment on verse 6 0 Unless you’re a stayer, the fans you insult
For cash is what drives you, forget the result.

7 Leave a comment on verse 7 0 But please………
Just don’t kiss the badge
Unless you mean it.

Notes

Seen all too often.
