10000 Maniacs You Happy Puppet Lyrics:
[music: Robert Buck/words: Natalie Merchant]

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.
