I saw his face on every channel
His slogans in all the papers
♪
I heard people repeat his words
I saw them shouting, his flag in their hands
I saw him making promises
I heard him talk about life
But I saw his fingers too
They were crossed behind his back
(Darling) of the TV screen
(Manipulator) of the purse strings
(Master) of the spoken words
(Jackal) with connections
Worshipped by the masses
Leader with ulterior motives
All talk and no do is neither a good offense or defense
Get with it, boys and girls
Your house needs to be put in order too
