lyrics

They Pull The Strings

...Pull the strings again!..

Go!

I don’t need the latest news to know just how we live:
Where there is a scandal it’s easy to forgive

They pull the strings and we dance, don’t ask why
They make their moves and we fall, left to die

I wonder what happens if I just keep my mouth shut,
Obey and buy all that they’re offering to me –
I might as well give up everything reduced to slavery,
Never to be free...

What seems to be so charming is rotting inside
Make-believe and shallowness, to see this i can’t abide

They pull the strings and we dance, don’t ask why
They make their moves and we fall, left to die

I wonder what happens if I put on a mask of apathy.
Just let me see if it really helps to take away the pain -
I might as well search for my own paradise on Jeopardy Lane...
Wouldn’t it be insane?
