Nothing but a puppet on an endless string/ Following the bells, the maddening ring/ You’ve got no freedom, you’ve got no voice/ Everything you do is someone else’s choice/ Your future is a mystery, your past is a shame/ Your present is a classroom, every day is the same/ They say they’ll try and teach you what life is all about/ But all you want to know is how to get the fuck out
You could try and make it better, but what’s the point?/ Nothing really matters when you’re trapped in the void
Now you’ve got a job, you’re a working man/ Clock is still crawling, but now there’s cash in your hand/ You find that from nine to five you’re still a slave/ Your fingers counting out the days until you get paid/ You buy a used car, you live like a king/ You’ve got everything you want, you ain’t doing anything/ Your old man comes like a rage through the house/ “Pack up all your shit and get the hell out!”
You could try and change his mind, but what’s the point? No-one wants to listen when you’re trapped in the void
Nothing left to try when your dreams begin to die/ Grass is always greener on the other side/ Face the bitter truth that the failure lies with you/ Lost years and broken hopes all that you amounted to
Now you’re on the streets, no place to stay/ You lost your job in the struggle for survival every day/ Got nothing to eat and all your friends have closed their doors/ Because times are tough and they can’t feed you anymore/ You run into a guy who offers you work/ Now your gun’s pointed at a liquor store clerk/ Spin and fire, flash of blue, now you’re on the run/ Cut the puppet’s string, ‘cause the show is now done You can try and blame the system, there’s really no point/ No-one gives a fuck when you’re sucked into the void
