Society's Puppets

Fighting to the death
Pulling each other apart
Why are we doing this
Is that what society wants?
This is what humanity has come to?
This is a play in which
I don’t want a part
I’m not going to follow your line
Stop saying it is
Because everything’s not fine

Can’t you see what they’re doing?
They’re putting on a puppet show
And you’re their main star
They’re calling out for more
And you’re selling out like another whore
Behind the scenes
They’re there
Pulling the strings
When are you going to cut free
And be the person you want to be?

Listen to me
Take my advice
But you can’t hear me
Because they have me
trapped behind glass
Like I’m on display
But really they just don’t want you
To hear what I have to say
