Puppeteer is about feeling like you’ve been working all day but when it comes to the end of the day it feels like you’ve done nothing of substance.
It’s the idea of being told what to do by your boss or society and then going to sleep to do it all again.
[Verse 1]
Every evening
As I put my toys away
I think about what I've done today
It's nothing
I've done nothing
Accomplished nothing
[Verse 2]
Rather carefully
I pick up the jigsaw I've been working on
Or rather staring at
Make up your mind you fool
Tick tick goes the time you fool
You're out of line you fool
Tick tock goes the time
[Pre-Chorus]
I trudge back to my cryo-tube post-meal
But no matter how much bread I just don't feel
Alright
[Chorus]
Maybe next few days they'll release me
Cut me from my strings puppeteer
Ee-eer
[Verse 3]
Putting blocks in
Labeled baskets
I can see their eyes behind reflective glass
Staring at me
Laughing at me
[Pre-Chorus]
I hook the plastic tube to my neuro-dock
Ready for my daily dose, oh, let 'em gawk
Alright
[Chorus]
Maybe next few days they'll release me
Cut me from my strings puppeteer
Eer
