How did they teach you to be
Just a happy puppet dancing on a string
How did you learn everything
That comes along with slavish funnery
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
How do you manage to live
Inside this tiny stage you can't leave
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
How do you manage to speak, 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 empty wooden head
Your hollowed head, your marble eyes
Your wooden hands and your metal jaw pins
All wait in limbo for the man
Who knows how to move you this way
