Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
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
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
