What's it like to play a part?

What's it like to have a wooden heart?

Every word you say is so rehearsed

You think your clothes and actions control the universe

Listen, what you'd better do

Listen, better change your head

Listen, or there's nothing we can do

Listen to the one who will change your world

You're the face upon a playing card

A coloured painted cold visage

You're (just a pawn of someone somewhere)

Only trouble is you're gonna get no-where

Listen, what you'd better do

Listen, better change your head

Listen, or there's nothing we can do

Listen to the one who will change your world

What's it like to play a part?

You (got a wooden heart)

You're (just a puppet on a string)

A nothing, a no-one, no style

You (just play a part)

You're (just a pawn of someone somewhere)

And you'll get no-where

Listen what you'd better do

Listen, better change your head

Listen, or there's nothing we can do

Listen to the one who will change your world

Gonna change your world

Gonna change your world
