Puppets on a string

Tony36

Dancing to the whims of others

That is all we are to the government and society 

They pull the strings

We dance

Do this 

Do that

They pull the strings

We dance

 

We have no say

We must play it their way

Dance

When our strings are pulled 

Do as you're told

But your freedom belongs to us

When they pull our strings we dance

 

Puppets on a String 

Dancing to the whims of others

            So true Tony, they just want things for themselves and don't care about the population.

              Sandie Shaw has got an awful lot to answer for .. sadly we have too many who would see themselves as puppet masters these days and far too many also who are, for whatever reason disinclined to take risks, make choices and do it for themselves .. there's nowt so queer as folk and its a funny old world .. point & poem taken tho' ..
