Puppets

In convolution's twist the puppets dangle And by intellectual snobbery Confound themselves in obscure philosophies Within this miasma of strings Bring thier selfrighteousness to weigh And heavily obey the populace Puppets mouth the marionette of speach Chatter with placatory promises Gather their idiot payment taxes Weaving the jerking kink of threads Into the fashion of a brand new security blanket The wisdom of puppetry hangs in banknotes A masquerades entertainment for the fools It is a dictators empire so steadily employed To a deception of freedom To act as the puppet would Without accountability in the annals of performance Puppets mereley do their job Bouncing around on mass medias stage Dancing through the loopholes they have made Don't blame me they say Someone else is pulling on the wires And I've been played Puppets perform by popular demand A roll fulfilled by another's command In convolution's twist they dangle Confounding all by obscure philosophies Bring thier selfrighteousness to wiegh And heavily obey the populace
