Blind Mans Zoo Lyrics

How did they teach you to be just a happy puppet dancing on a string?  

 How did you learn everything that comes along with slavish funnery?  

 Tell me  

 something, if the world is so insane, is it making you sane again to  

 let  

 another man tug at the thread that pulls up your nodding head?  

 How did they teach you to be just a happy puppet dancing on a string?  

 How do you manage to live inside this tiny stage you can't leave? Tell  

 me  

 something, if the world is so insane, is it making you sane again to  

 let  

 another man tug at the thread that pulls up your nodding head? A  

 dullard  

 strung on the wire. When the master's gone you hang there with your  

 eyes and  

 your limbs so lifeless.  

 How did they teach you to be just a happy puppet dancing on a string?  

 How do you manage to speak, your mouth a frozen grin? A dullard strung  

 on  

 the wire. When the master's gone you hang there with your eyes and  

 your  

 limbs so lifeless.  

 Tell me something, if the world is so insane, is it making you sane  

 again  

 to let another man tug at the thread that pulls up your empty wooden  

 head?  

 Your hollow head, your marble eyes, your wooden hands and your metal  

 jaw pins  

 all wait in limbo for the man who knows how to move you this way
