Muppet Man

Verse 1) You’re pulling on the strings again Thinking I’ll just dance for you But I’m not some felt-skinned friend Waiting on your cue You’ve got a script you want to read A role for me to play But I’ve got everything I need To walk the other way (Chorus) I’m not your Muppet, man I’m not a puppet in your hand To say the words you want to hear To make your vision clear I’m not a toy upon your shelf I’ll speak the truth for myself No, I’m not your Muppet, man I’m breaking every plan (Verse 2) You want a hollow, smiling face To mimic every move you make But I won’t take that vacant space For your ego's sake The stage is dark, the show is through The wires are finally cut I’m not a shadow cast by you With my mouth sewn shut (Chorus) I’m not your Muppet, man I’m not a puppet in your hand To say the words you want to hear To make your vision clear I’m not a toy upon your shelf I’ll speak the truth for myself No, I’m not your Muppet, man I’m breaking every plan (Bridge) Find someone else to play the part I’ve got a real and beating heart No hand inside to guide the way I’m the master of my day (Outro) No strings attached No lines to learn The bridge you built I’m gonna burn I’m not your Muppet, man. Chorus) I’m not your Muppet, man I’m not a puppet in your hand To say the words you want to hear To make your vision clear I’m not a toy upon your shelf I’ll speak the truth for myself No, I’m not your Muppet, man I’m breaking every plan
