I couldn't believe it when you said you didn't care
If people used you or people stole from you
You said nothing lasts forever, nothing to do with you
Then you sayCome to me if you can be quiet
Come little one if you can be still
You say there's so much more to do
Than get caught up on every issue
It's puppet city out there, trulyI couldn't believe it when you said you had no feelings
Of love or hate or anything dramatic, not jealousy or pride
You said you'd set these things aside
Then you sayCome to me if you can be quiet
Come little one if you can be still
You say there's so much more to do
Than get caught up on every issue
It's puppet city out there, trulyI couldn't believe it when you said I had been programmed
To miss you when you go away, to be indignant when you stay away
To worry about things, the proper length of time
Well, taught emotionallyGirl, does this, tell her it's wrong
That's the thing to do
Girl, does this, tell her it's wrong
That's the thing to doIf you love them, you need them
So stop trying to free them
That's the thing to do
That's not the thing to doI couldn't believe it when you said you needed no one
You're a stubborn man, I think you're antisocial
Whatever that is, you're supposed to care about your brother
It's not right to be so coldCome to me if you can be quiet
Come little one if you can be still
You say there's so much more to do
Than get caught up on every issue
It's puppet city out there, truly
