Marionette

No puppet, no liar, won't bend my lips to wire - No
 Don't pressurize me so
 Don't gamble, with my life, or you won't live to do it twice
 Oh take some good advice from me
 And let the wires rock
 All dressed in black so nobody sees you
 Smile in the wings, tell me I please you
 Call me a king and watch for the wordworm to choke me
 And you're like a giraffe, the performance is poor
 Watch the audience laugh as my head hits the floor
 When I'm broken in half you still reach for the floor
 STOP!
 I've had enough of this
 The pantomime's reversed
 I need -you feed
 I greed - you bleed
 Marionette - I ain't one yet
 Teacher's pet - Well you'd better forget it
 Marionette - I ain't one yet
 Teacher's pet - Go check your stocks and shares
 And when the coffin comes make sure there's room for two
 You lied - I led
 I died -You're dead
 Marionette - I ain't one yet
 Teacher's pet - You'd better forget it
 Marionette - I ain't one yet
 Teacher's pet - go check your product
 A traitor, deceiver, a groovy disbeliever I thought
 A puppet was a thing cheap-taught - No way
 Creator, conceiver, romantic love receiver - caught
 "Who are you"
 "The nerve"
 I wanna get out, I wanna get out, I wanna get out, I wanna get out, I wanna get
 out, AHHHHH!
 Oh he wanna play chords to the chick on the street
 He wanna play words to a world that don't speak
 He wanna play people who play hide 'n' seek when they don't talk
 He wanna play a riff to the man with the wires
 He wanna play lead but his hand's getting tired
 He just wanna play but don't know how to say - STOP
 OK, the show's been fun
 But my wood's begun to warp
 They won -I'm done
 New one - begun
 Marionette - I did my best
 Teacher's pet - It just couldn't last
 Marionette - Get me out of this mess
 Teacher's little pet - It happened so fast
 Marionette - Now I need a rest
 Teacher's pet - Where's my sanity gone - Mother?
 Marionette - I did my best
 Teacher's little pet - I'm just like all the others
 They gambled, with my life
 and now I've lost my will to fight
 Oh God these wires are so tight...
 I'm just a marionette.
