I was my parents' puppet 'till my teenage years   When I rebelled - and swapped them for my peers   I used to sit for hours all alone   Without an opinion to call my own      I had to keep this compulsion to myself   This need to be like everyone else   But now I'm out of the closet and I feel free   'Cos I Just saw Thunderbirds on T.V.      Yes I've been outed and I'm so happy   I've found a role model just for me   I think I could be like those puppet guys   There's less to them than meets the eye      Now I Don't have to worry about a thing   As long as someone else is pulling my strings   My pop star can tell me what to know   I can get my poilitical views from my youth radio      I can join the queues outside restaurant chains   Now I can do the Mexican wave   Just tell me what's in and I'll make sure I fit   Just herd me into that mosh pit   And sing if you're proud to be plastic now,   Cos Thunderbirds are coming out.
