The Bogus Man - Brendan Perry

I can see it in your eyes

The vacant stare, the empty lie

I can see it in your smile

I give you an inch, you take a mile

Politician

Model citizen

Politician

Blind ambition

I can see through your disguise

The red poppy, suit and ties

Poor mothers' sons will fight your wars

So rich men can reap the rewards

Politician

Model citizen

Politician

Cold ambition

Hail Father Ubu, here comes the Grand Guignol

Opportunist, you change your tune to suit the times

Sycophantic, cold-blooded, reptilian

Careering, profiteering, the party line

The party line

Hail Father Ubu, here comes the Grand Guignol

Manipulator, corrupt curator, of human lives

Sycophantic, cold-blooded, reptilian

Procrastinator, the fake orator, the bogus man
