They all hang around you Like you’ve got the answer But I know that you don’t Your lies spread right through them And grow like a cancer It’s fueling your ego
You walk down the halls Ruling it all Your clique at your side All vanity and pride They all fell in line Following every sign Never seeing what’s inside
You’re playing puppeteer You’re pulling the strings The people in your life are just your playthings You do it all out of fear Cause you’re the master puppeteer
They’re not really your friends Just a means to an end You think that you’re playing them But you’re the one that’s being played
You put on a mask With a smile on your face Hidden in disguise And they all believed While you lied and deceived Every single line
You laugh and you flirt Gossip and hurt Insult and blame All these petty games And they laughed with you Hiding all the pain Hiding all the pain
You’re playing puppeteer You’re pulling the strings The people in your life are just your playthings You do it all out of fear Cause you’re the master puppeteer
They’re not really your friends Just a means to an end You think that you’re playing them But you’re the one that’s being played
Someday you will see That what you want in your life Isn’t what you need And everyone around you knows That you will end up all alone
You’re playing puppeteer You’re pulling the strings The people in your life are just your playthings You do it all out of fear Cause you’re the master puppeteer
They’re not really your friends Just a means to an end You think that you’re playing them But you’re the one that’s being played
