Puppet

You give a kid some candy

He will always ask for more

You give a man some power

And off he goes to war

So many strings tightly attached

He seems like he is lost

He makes a fine new decision

Whatever be the cost

I see images that cull

Up on our deepest fears

Just when all seems well

The puppet appears

Chorus:

Take me to silence

I don't want to hear

Bring me to blindness

I don't need to see

(Keyboard Solo)

He'll pay no heed to his neighbour

He'll pay the price to rule

Only greed will bring him pleasure

And make him king of fools

Chorus:

Take me to silence

I don't want to hear

Bring me to blindness

I don't need to see

(Guitar Solo)

Chorus:

Take me to silence

I don't want to hear

Bring me to blindness

I don't need to see
