On a String

from ¡dos! by Wild Daydream

/

lyrics

When you’re told all your life, you’re in a Shakespeare tragedy
When you're fed by a tube, what’s the point of anything?
When you’re drugged up,
Dumbed down,
Numb to the bone
When your life’s on rent, but you’d like to own it
Someday I’ll take back the precious life that you stole from me

There’s a hand up my back
Now I’m a puppet on a string
And my fairy god mother’s new lover don’t want her to love me
When you’re leashed up,
Beat down,
Worked like a dog
Well life ain’t fun when you’re told something’s wrong with you
Would you kindly return the precious life that you stole from me

When your juggler mugs you and shrugs at the end of the fight
When your teleprompter parks all your deer in its headlights
You’ve been built by pieces of others you know
You can’t grasp who you are when it’s already stolen
Now, I’m gonna steal back the precious life that you stole from me
Would you kindly return the precious life that you stole from me?
Someday I’ll take back the precious life that you stole from me
