The Bogus Man

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 Le Grand Guignol

Opportunist
You change your tune
To suite the times

Sycophantic
Cold blooded
Reptilian

Careering
Profiteering
The party line

Hail Father Ubu!
Here comes Le Grand Guignol

Manipulator
Corrupt curator
Of human lives

Sycophantic
Cold blooded
Reptilian

Procrastinator
The fake orator
The bogus man
