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
