No, not the inventor.
Ever since the release of P4G, I've noticed the English lyrics in Persona games started to make sense compared to the seemingly random ones from previous titles. I suppose Atlus hiring the lyricist Benjamin Franklin was likely a response to the series' increased popularity in the west. I personally enjoyed what Lotus Juice brought to the series, but the fact that he speaks English fluently surprisingly didn't show in his own work.
So let's all thank Benjamin Franklin for writing lyrics we can listen to without trying to decode their cryptic meanings.
