Puppet - Warmen

You give a kid some candy

He will always ask for more

You give a man some power

And off he goes to war

So many strings tightly attached

He seems like he is lost

He makes a fine new decision

Whatever be the cost

I see images that cull

Up on our deepest fears

Just when all seems well

The puppet appears

Take me to silence

I don’t want to hear

Bring me to blindness

I don’t need to see

He’ll pay no heed to his neighbour

He’ll pay the price to rule

Only greed will bring him pleasure

And make him king of fools
