Marionette

Marionette - Mott The Hoople
No puppet no liar won't bend my lips to wire No
Don't pressurize me so
Don't gamble with my life or you won't live to do it twice
Oh take some good advice from me
And let the wires rock
All dressed in black so nobody sees you
Smile in the wings tell me I please you
Call me a king and watch for the wordworm to choke me
And you're like a giraffe the performance is poor
Watch the audience laugh as my head hits the floor
When I'm broken in half you still reach for the floor
Stop
I've had enough of this
The pantomime's reversed
I need you feed
I greed you bleed
I ain't one yet
Well you'd better forget it
I ain't one yet
Go check your stocks and shares
And when the coffin comes make sure there's room for two
You lied I led
I died You're dead
I ain't one yet
You'd better forget it
I ain't one yet
Go check your product
A traitor deceiver a groovy disbeliever I thought
A puppet was a thing cheap-taught No way
Creator conceiver romantic love receiver caught
Who are you"
The nerve
I wanna get out I wanna get out I wanna get out I wanna get out I wanna get
Out ahhhhh
Oh he wanna play chords to the chick on the street
He wanna play words to a world that don't speak
He wanna play people who play hide 'n' seek when they don't talk
He wanna play a riff to the man with the wires
He wanna play lead but his hand's getting tired
He just wanna play but don't know how to say stop
OK the show's been fun
But my wood's begun to warp
They won I'm done
New one begun
I did my best
It just couldn't last
Get me out of this mess
It happened so fast
Now I need a rest
Where's my sanity gone Mother
I did my best
I'm just like all the others
They gambled with my life
And now I've lost my will to fight
Oh God these wires are so tight
I'm just a marionette
