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.

I never been a fortunate son

Never been the down and out one

Good to know you think that I'm done

Say what you want, say what you want, son

I've been called the good and the bad

Ugly, only those that wish that they had

Built from mud so sling what you have

Say what you want, say what you want, son

I'll be the witch that you need for the hunt

Grab a fork, light a torch, let 'em come

I've got demons of my own that should run

Say what you want, say what you want, son

Strings, strings, strings are pulling you

So, speak as puppets do

But silence holds the truth, oh, oh

Wooden words and plated shoes

You dance but you don't move

Just live through hands that do, oh, oh

Oh, oh

Oh, oh

Oh, oh

Not gonna be the devil you need

I'm not moved by the beg and the plead

You claim the saint, but it's sinners you need

Say what you want, say what you want, son

I never been the angel you pray

I never been the devil you claim

You can try but this soul don't need save

Say what you want, say what you want, son

Strings, strings, strings are pulling you

So, speak as puppets do

But silence holds the truth, oh, oh

Wooden words and plated shoes

You dance but you don't move

Just live through hands that do, oh, oh

Oh, oh

Oh, oh

Oh, oh

Are we here when the crying is done

Wonder where all the noises came from

The eagle never pays mind to the dove

Say what you want, say what you want, son

Strings, strings, strings are pulling you

So, speak as puppets do

But silence holds the truth

(Say what you want, say what you want, son)

Wooden words and plated shoes

You dance but you don't move

Just live through hands that do

(Say what you want, say what you want, son)

Strings, strings, strings are pulling you

So, speak as puppets do

But silence holds the truth

(Say what you want, say what you want, son)

Wooden words and plated shoes

You dance but you don't move

Just live through hands that do, oh, oh
