The Bogus Man Lyrics - Singles - 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 rent four piece suit and ties 

For 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 suite 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
