Hard-Eyed Realist

To the tune of Cock-Eyed Optimist, from Rodgers & Hammrstein's South 
Pacific

SNAPE: 
With a half-priced Prince of Machiavelli
To instruct me in power politics
You can call me a hard-eyed realist
Who will play cynically with critics

Though I have people running up to tell me
There's some good to be found in ev'ry soul
But because I'm a hard-eyed realist
Such naïve folk make my hard eyes roll

I know our wizard crew 
Need ruthless rulers who 
Will show them where they need to go
Without firm leadership
We'll see Death Eaters rip
Apart what we've tried hard to grow 

Life sure ain't no concert by Corelli
It's a song that is neither sure nor sweet
Nasty, short, quoting Hobbes
Quite the brutal job
Leave the kitchen if you can't stand heat
I stand heat
