You give a kid some candy He will always ask for more You give a man some power And off he goes to war So many strings tightly attached He seems like he is lost He makes a fine new decision Whatever be the cost
I see images that cull Up on our deepest fears Just when all seems well The puppet appears
Take me to silence I don't want to hear Bring me to blindness I don't need to see
He'll pay no heed to his neighbour He'll pay the price to rule Only greed will bring him pleasure And make him king of fools
