"Please be Clear" - Truists
Channel: Geoff Clout
Date: 27/11/2019

This song is a request to political spielers to be CLEAR.

A spiel is a lengthy, often glib talk that's intended to persuade or make excuses. Infomercials feature salespeople giving a 30-minute spiel about some product. 
Used as a noun or verb, spiel originates from the German word spielen, meaning “to play." 
It's often somewhat rehearsed and should be greeted with skepticism.

Lyrics:

have you anything
to offer me
in return
for what?
please be clear
please be clear

you get to ask me
on a form
once every  
three or four years

please be clear
i don’t care who you are
unless you can’t be trusted

say what you’re going to do
 
there are people
i see them every day 
on the tv
i can’t even look 
at the screen

i’m long passed laughing
at caricatures of them
they are vermin
basically the world is ruled
the world is ruled
by vermin
vermin
vermin

have you anything
to offer me
in return
for what?

please be clear
please be clear
please be clear
please be clear
please be clear
please be clear
