INTRO- x2 VERSE 1- 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? VERSE 2- How did they teach you to be Just a happy puppet dancing on a string How do you.........manage to live in- -side 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? BREAK- 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? VERSE 3- 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? BREAK- 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? FINISH WITH- 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
