A SONG FOR PHILIP LEMONET
Let down by a system
Designed to help
Recidivist King
Exposing the flaws
A born underachiever
The Devil's own deceiver
A master of
The cloak and dagger
His true intentions
Remain unknown
A man of dubious identity
Destined to keep his liberty
Now time is running out
The noose has tightened
A knock on the door
Then confusion reigns
And you realise then
You've swallowed his lies
Once again he's pulled the wool
Over your eyes
