PUPPET STRINGS
I've been sold a very certain dream
Kind of dream you don't wake up from easily
I've been pulled on stretched-thin puppet strings
I've been given the runaround
Can I just sleep?
Seems like it'd be easier to drift away, drift away
Can I just be
Without having to be
Forced to be another way?
Why should my existence be policed like a protest?
Why should I hear your comments?
I can hear your comments
Why the fuck should it matter with whom I get undressed?
Yeah, I can hear you callin'
I can hear you callin'
Release my puppet strings
You don't know what it feels like
Sure, you're the queens and kings
And I think you think that you're right
You're shooting like a comet
At those who are more calm
And more mature
Baby, what for?
Release my puppet strings
You're wasting precious air when you
Huff and puff and blow the house down
When no one's there
You're firing like a squadron
And yet you think your God will love you more
Baby, are you sure?
Can I just leave?
Seems like it'd be easier to fly away to outer space
Left the galaxy, drifting places, run away
We're not at liberty apparently
Keep the schools so clean
So don't say it
Don't say it
Accusations are the most telling
When they reveal those innermost feelings
Can't pray it away
Can't pray it, can't pray it, can't pray it
'Cause at the end of the day
We're all just flesh and bone
Release my puppet strings
You don't know what it feels like
Sure, you're the queens and kings
And I think you think that you're right
You're shooting like a comet
At those who are more calm
And more mature
Baby, what for?
Release my puppet strings
You're wasting precious air when you
Huff and puff and blow the house down
When no one's there
You're firing like a squadron
And yet you think your God will love you more
Baby, are you sure?
(Are you sure?
Are you sure?
Are you sure?
Are you sure?
Are you sure?
Are you sure?
Are you sure?)
Kind of dream you don't wake up from easily
I've been pulled on stretched-thin puppet strings
I've been given the runaround
Can I just sleep?
Seems like it'd be easier to drift away, drift away
Can I just be
Without having to be
Forced to be another way?
Why should my existence be policed like a protest?
Why should I hear your comments?
I can hear your comments
Why the fuck should it matter with whom I get undressed?
Yeah, I can hear you callin'
I can hear you callin'
Release my puppet strings
You don't know what it feels like
Sure, you're the queens and kings
And I think you think that you're right
You're shooting like a comet
At those who are more calm
And more mature
Baby, what for?
Release my puppet strings
You're wasting precious air when you

You're firing like a squadron

Are you sure?
Are you sure?
Are you sure?
Are you sure?
Are you sure?
Are you sure?)
