Brendan Perry - The Bogus Man lyrics

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
