How did they teach you to be
Just a happy puppet dancing on a string
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
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
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 nodding head?
Your hollowed head, your marble eyes
Your wooden hands and your metal jawpins
All wait in limbo for the man
Who knows how to move you this way
