[00:10.08]How did they teach you to be
[00:13.64]Just a happy puppet dancing on a string?
[00:19.19]How did you learn everything
[00:22.72]That comes along with slavish funnery?
[00:29.15]Tell me something, if the world is so insane
[00:33.66]Is it making you sane again to
[00:38.22]Let another man tug at the thread
[00:41.85]That pulls up your nodding head?
[00:48.25]How did they teach you to be
[00:51.83]Just a happy puppet dancing on a string?
[00:56.48]How do you manage to live inside
[01:00.94]This tiny stage you can’t leave?
[01:06.49]Tell me something, if the world is so insane
[01:11.82]Is it making you sane again to
[01:15.54]Let another man tug at the thread
[01:20.08]That pulls up your nodding head?
[01:27.35]A dullard strung on the wire
[01:31.83]When the master’s gone you hang there
[01:37.33]With your eyes and your limbs so lifeless
[02:00.08]Tell me something, if the world is so insane
[02:05.65]Is it making you sane again to
[02:10.15]Let another man tug at the thread
[02:13.77]That pulls up your nodding head?
[02:20.13]How did they teach you to be
[02:23.71]Just a happy puppet dancing on a string?
[02:29.21]How do you manage to speak
[02:32.84]Your mouth a frozen grin?
[02:40.16]A dullard strung on the wire
[02:45.52]When the master’s gone you hang there
[02:50.12]With your eyes and your limbs so lifeless
[02:54.63]Tell me something, if the world is so insane
[02:59.21]Is it making you sane again to
[03:03.77]Let another man tug at the thread
[03:08.32]That pulls up your empty wooden head?
[03:12.83]Your hollow head, your marble eyes
[03:17.43]Your wooden hands and your metal jaw pins
[03:22.88]All wait in limbo for the man
[03:26.45]Who knows how to move you this way
