Lyrics
The puppet master has spoken
You have fallen for the bribe
Such a sweet promised token
His dirty work you now prescribe
Now it's time to put in to play
Plans that will change the way
We live our lives day by day
Atrocities you now have to enslave
You're a dead man walking
It's over and so's the talking
The puppet master won't concede
You can beg, you can plead
But when the dirty deed is done
You too will bleed like everyone
You're in so deep life is cheap
And what you sow you will reap
Sending lambs to the slaughter
It's treason and you're the author
You're a dead man walking
It's over and so's the talking
The puppet master won't concede
You can beg, you can plead
But when the dirty deed is done
You too will bleed like everyone
Like lambs to the slaughter
Mums, dads, sons and daughters
Business will go to the wall
The puppet master laughs at us all
You've been promised everything
But nothing will be your haul
Once the deed is done
You too will bleed like everyone
You're a dead man walking
It's over and so's the talking
The puppet master won't concede
You can beg, you can plead
But once the dirty deed is done
You too will bleed like everyone
You're a dead man walking
It's over and so's the talking
The puppet master won't concede
You can beg, you can plead
But once the dirty deed is done
You too will bleed like everyone
