Double-talkin', two-faced wisdom of a liar.
Backwards, puppet-stringed bleeding heart's desire.
Chamber-walkin', discgraced victim of my love.
Fake words (what you bring) are you ashamed of?
You can't bring me down to the level that you wallow within.
The tell-tale, underhanded wooden puppet's nose.
Take it back, show the script and watch the story grow.
Then unveil (don't leave stranded) any open wounds.
The deck is stacked; let it rip and tell us how you do.
You can't bring me down to the level that you wallow within.
Don't you make a sound. Keep your mouth shut if you want to win.
What is it that makes you work?
Who's got a hand up your shirt?
Tell me, who controls your strings?
Why care what tomorrow brings?
Who writes your puppet rules?
You must lie in the bed that you make.
Take everything that you can take.
Live with your choices today,
Don't let your fear get in the way.
Who said life is an easy ride?
Move or stand still; time to decide.
But until then, do what you can
To make the best of the test
That's been placed before you.
Forget last week, sow what you reap.
Don't take the time to bitch and whine
About what you've got to do.
The only constant in the world is change.
Nothing ever stays the same.
Save your tears for another day.
The only thing that stays the same is change
And I won't play the fool.
When it's time to live in shame, I think it's funny still.
Cry out loud, you puppet girl, and don't forget your bill.
So, tow your line and drop the names of who you think will care.
Stand up proud and show the world what it is you dare.
The only thing that stays the same is change
And I won't play the fool.
Who's the puppet now?
