Masked Jackal Lyrics - Coroner

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 word 

Jackal with connections 

Worshiped 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 word 

Jackal with connections 

Worshiped 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 shambles 

Darling of the TV screen 

Manipulator of the purse strings 

Master of the spoken word 

Jackal with connections 

Worshiped by the masses 

Leader with ulterior motives 

Worshiped by the masses 

Leader with ulterior motives
