Lyrics
Lobotomy
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Like a child watching puppets at a matinee
They don't see the hand controlling every move they make
Having too much fun to see
The man that's pulling all the stings
Hiding just beyond the curtain
You've got freedom, you've got rights, but know you're still a slave
You don't see the hand controlling every move you make
Step in line and you'll receive
Your worry free lobotomy
Waiting just beyond the curtain
(Just beyond the curtain)
Happy and free
As they all dance on a string
Let's turn the music up louder
Blocking out everything
While you help create
The all-american hate
I'm not a puppet on a string
I'm not a candidate for this lobotomy
It's so much easier to laugh and look the other way
The power that be broadcast the image everything's ok
Nobody sees that there's a war
Happening right outside your door
They hide it just beyond the curtain
(Just beyond the curtain)
Happy and free
As they all dance on a string
Let's turn the music up louder
Blocking out everything
While you help create
The all-american hate
I'm not a puppet on a string
I'm not a candidate for this lobotomy
No strings pulling me
Yeah
Like a child watching puppets at a matinee
They don't see the hand controlling every move you make
Having too much fun to see
The man that's pulling all the stings
Hiding just beyond the curtain
Just beyond the curtain
Happy and free
As they all dance on a string
Let's turn the music up louder
Blocking out everything
While you help create
The all-american hate
I'm not a puppet on a string
I'm not a candidate for this lobotomy
For this lobotomy
