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

Cold ambition
Hail Father Ubu!
Here comes Le Grand Guignol
Opportunist
You change your tune
To suite the times

Profiteering
The party line
Hail Father Ubu!
Here comes Le Grand Guignol

Corrupt curator
Of human lives

Cold blooded

Procrastinator
The fake orator
The bogus man
