You Happy Puppet

How did they teach you to be
 Just a happy puppet dancing on a string?
 How did you learn everything
 That comes along with slavish funnery?
 Tell me something, if the world is so insane
 Is it making you sane again to
 Let another man tug at the thread
 That pulls up your nodding head?
 How did they teach you to be
 Just a happy puppet dancing on a string?
 How do you manage to live inside
 This tiny stage you can't leave?
 Tell me something, if the world is so insane
 Is it making you sane again to
 Let another man tug at the thread
 That pulls up your nodding head?
 A dullard strung on the wire
 When the master's gone you hang there
 With your eyes and your limbs so lifeless
 Tell me something, if the world is so insane
 Is it making you sane again to
 Let another man tug at the thread
 That pulls up your nodding head?
 How did they teach you to be
 Just a happy puppet dancing on a string?
 How do you manage to speak
 Your mouth a frozen grin?
 A dullard strung on the wire
 When the master's gone you hang there
 With your eyes and your limbs so lifeless
 Tell me something, if the world is so insane
 Is it making you sane again to
 Let another man tug at the thread
 That pulls up your empty wooden head?
 Your hollow head, your marble eyes
 Your wooden hands and your metal jaw pins
 All wait in limbo for the man
 Who knows how to move you this way
