Mott The Hoople

No puppet, no liar, won't bend my lips to wire - No
Don't pressurize me so
Don't gamble, with my life, or you won't live to do it twice
Oh take some good advice from me
And let the wires rock
All dressed in black so nobody sees you
Smile in the wings, tell me I please you
Call me a king and watch for the wordworm to choke me
And you're like a giraffe, the performance is poor
Watch the audience laugh as my head hits the floor
When I'm broken in half you still reach for the floor
STOP!
I've had enough of this
The pantomime's reversed
I need -you feed
I greed - you bleed
Marionette - I ain't one yet
Teacher's pet - Well you'd better forget it
Marionette - I ain't one yet
Teacher's pet - Go check your stocks and shares
And when the coffin comes make sure there's room for two
You lied - I led
I died -You're dead
Marionette - I ain't one yet
Teacher's pet - You'd better forget it
Marionette - I ain't one yet
Teacher's pet - go check your product
A traitor, deceiver, a groovy disbeliever I thought
A puppet was a thing cheap-taught - No way
