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

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
