It seemed easiest at first for me to let you say
When I could speak, when I should dance what I could play
Conditions for the light that you would shine on us
Don’t read between the lines and never make a fuss
Then something came along one day that spoke to me
A thunder cloud came rolling in, alive and free
You cannot control the rate of your own petty rage
A storm is not of plastic nor a scripted page
I pulled my strings, the curtain fell, I saw your face
A foolish little boy afraid he’d be exposed
I cut my strings and smiled, and all hell broke loose
But you’ve got little cotton fists and I don’t see the blooms
I’ll play no part in your crazy puppet show
Yeah, the world inside your box has gotten’ old
Did you really think I’d never know the truth?
I am no puppet and I don’t belong to you
I’ll play no part in your crazy puppet show
Yeah, the world inside your box has gotten’ old
Did you really think I’d never know the truth?
I am no puppet and I don’t belong to you
