When will we cut the strings?

lyrics

The moon is ripe, the wind is wild, clouds race across the sky
Wait, those aren’t clouds, they’re flocks of birds about to die
And so I choose to look instead upon a restless sea
Turned silver by the rotting fish as far as I can see

And yet we little marionettes dance all in a ring
Bewitched by puppet masters, and their pretty, shiny things
When will we cut the strings?

I trust in our leaders, believing all they say
I wink at what they do in bed with Corporate USA
So I choose not to notice, when on the news I hear
Some fat cat got a bonus ‘could feed Haiti for a year

And yet we little marionettes dance all in a ring
Bewitched by puppet masters and their pretty shiny things
When will we cut the strings?

Science and religion save us all from hell
Save us from enlightenment and from our higher selves
And yet we little marionettes dance all in a ring
Bewitched by puppet masters and their pretty shiny things
And the misery they bring

When will we cut the strings?
