well the puppets and pawns of the world make me tired
with vendettas agendas and all that’s required
bounded by strings of the castles and kings still in charge
with fortunes and failures at large
 

there’s so many a man who is so disappointed
in the life he is now settled in
who has labeled and fabled his own self-appointed
importance to neighbor kin
he blows hard and blows loud and throws daggers with ease
and mutters his “what could have beens”
commands his demands with no grace and no please
and holds himself higher than eyes can perceive
 

he’s a puppet and pawn and he makes the world tired
with vendettas agendas and all that’s required
bounded by strings of the castles and kings still in charge
with fortunes and failures at large
 

so let’s raise up our glasses in steady reminder
we’re all small in significance
and when faced with decision of cruel or be kinder
then climb on the latter of it
and offer a chair when you’d just soon as stand
and thank those who offer a seat
and know there’s a limit to leasing the land
the land that is under our feet
and don’t be a puppet and pawn that just makes the world tired
with vendettas agendas and all that’s required
bounded by strings of the castles and kings still in charge
with fortunes and failures at large
