Masked Jackal

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

 His slate, clean as snow
 Covers over his dark past

 To be in league with workers
 Pictures he loved to see
 But I read in his eyes
 Promotion reality
 He played his part to the end
 Shot leaving a shambles
