l'affaire foley

when others sin it's their own bloody choice
when our boys sin we know they're not to blame
we are the ones who have the godly voice
with us they should all slink off in shame
if our men stumble it is not their fault
for we know god's truth and thus are always moral
over all errors we will lightly vault
and leave to lesser men the vain old quarrel
look how hypocrisy will stretch to cover
the criminal with its sheer shroud of white
turns the shrill liar and the caught boy-lover
into the most noble most inspiring sight
this comment might to many seem too flip
but see the rats as they desert the ship
