lyrics

You sit atop your empire of fries
Delivering garbage food to the citizenry
Cheeseburgers are your weapon of choice
Kingpin of the fast food industry
With your money you have woven your way
Into the inner workings of the government
Your greasy fingerprints coat Confederation Building
Where your opinions on taxation you intend to cement

You are the puppeteer
Pulling the marionette strings
Watch the doll dance to the tune
That the old witch sings

You are the puppeteer
Pulling the marionette strings
Watch the doll dance to the tune
That the old witch sings

You are a hag wielding corruption
Infecting the mind of the figurehead
De facto, leading behind closed curtains
The populace wishes that you were dead
Bringing down sadness onto the downtrodden
Crushing your boot-heels into the lower middle class
I want to see your office go up in flames
I want to see this dark age of misery pass

You are the puppeteer
Pulling the marionette strings
Watch the doll dance to the tune
That the old witch sings

You are the puppeteer
Pulling the marionette strings
Watch the doll dance to the tune
That the old witch sings

Sever the rotten cord!
Sever the cord!
