The Fabric of Society

I am the very model of an Emirati criminal
I thumb my nose at social cues, both blatant and subliminal
My fondness for a drink or two is rather undisputable
And leads me into acting in a manner quite unsuitable

I scatter hugs and kisses upon anyone deserving them
I care not for the country's norms, far less about preserving them
In taxis and on pavements I behave with impropriety
And often violate the very fabric of society

And often violate the very fabric of society
And often violate the very fabric of society
And often violate the very fabric of society
