Peter Bjorn and John
Puppet Theatre
[Verse 1]
Ringing out the old and shining in the new
We've been bought and sold and don't know what to do
All these empty lies, we bastardise the truth
We're left in the cold and now it's up to you
[Pre-Chorus]
You've been tricked and you made up your mind
Without even thinking
All the good deeds you did left behind
And the options are shrinking
Do you know why we all look the same?
The scale of destruction
You feel guilty and know who to blame
[Chorus]
It's the Puppet Theatre
The Puppet Theatre
[Verse 2]
Half the population lying on the couch
And the rest of us in a constant state of doubt
Yeah they look so neat - snazzed up in shirt and tie
But you wouldn't want to peek at the rot in the side
[Pre-Chorus]
You've been tricked and you made up your mind
Without even thinking
All the good deeds you did left behind
And the options are shrinking
Do you know why we all look the same?
The scale of destruction
You feel guilty and know who to blame
[Chorus]
It's the Puppet Theatre
The Puppet Theatre
[Verse 3]
Living in a box, no windows to the world
Not caught up your sleeve no hate to watch you hurt
Let me be your guide to fall off from your cliff
Laying side by side till we're cold and stiff
Till we're cold and stiff
