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. |
