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

(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

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

(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
Worshipped by the masses
Leader with ulterior motives
