A puppet on a string is all that you are, br And all that you ever will be br Your told what to hear and what to say br And you're even told what you can believe. br You are not free as you were once before br As you gave that and your dignity away br Now you are told where to go and what to wear br And you were even told to change your name. br Your watched and not trusted wherever you go br And you must ask permission to leave br And that is the life that you chose for yourself br Now for you there is only shame and pity. br br You're a puppet on the string as that is you br Your puppeteer tells you how to act br He tells you what to cook and when to sleep br And when to bed him and how to react, br But what can you do, as you have nowhere to go br Everyone knows of your lying and your ways br Your own daughters are confused because of you br Now they will be like you in their own adult days. br You changed your hair and you changed your name br Because your master commanded you to br To make him happy is what you want to do best br But sadly this situation for you isn't new. br br You're a puppet on the string that's all that I hear br Wherever you might go or what you might say br You walk in the footsteps your master placed for you br And you will walk them until your dying days. br Your strings are pulled and then you will walk br Your strings are pulled and then you will obey br Your strings are pulled and then you will answer br And that's how you will be from day unto day. br No truth or loyally does your master have for you br Not even a vow to GOD or a wedding ring br But you never expect or accepted them anyway br As all that you are, is but a puppet on a string. br br br Randy L.
