Marionettes
Isn’t it all games and bets?
With my sweet little marionettes
Charmingly they fight my wars
Dancing to my twiddling force
Happily I watch them give in
To the daily new laws I spin
Dear puppets what choice do you have?
But to dodge from the president’s wrath
Thus I command you to fight
For what should be ours by right
Oil, gold, land and power I lust
Looting the weak must be shushed
To hell you say I should make my way
Blaming me for the wars we play
Remember it was me who was named
To comply the wishes our country claimed
Even you’ve got marionettes to your ease
Gladly abusing them as you please
Power and wealth society craves
It’s not just me who misbehaves
My successors will replace my place
Juggling with morals they will face
For the system was painted by society
And now it pains our humanity
