The Hippocritic Oath

Something a little different and not about educational technology. Unless I can pretend it's about the demise of old media....

The Hippocritic Oath- cyganski (2002)

I'll bring you down with poisoned prose
While I shove cocaine up my nose
and swear by the hippocritic oath.
I'll fill the page with your indiscretion
While I indulge my own obsession
It's all part of the journalistic game.
I'll stand in judgement on you all
and twist the knife again.

Then I'll run away
I'll always run away
I write my lies and ruin your life
And then I'll run away.

The story's out I've got it wrong
Have to tell the truth and then move on
To look my victims in the eye.
Do you really think I'd be contrite?
I'm a journalist. I'm full of shite
Don't expect honesty from me.
It's my right to judge you all
Because I've got an English degree.

And I'll run away
I'll always run away
I write my lies and ruin your life
And then I'll run away.
I'll always run away.
