I don't need to hear you scream at night
To get the real thing
I don't need some pain to feel alive

You know it's not for me
I don't want to feel anaesthetized
By them stupid words

I left behind

CHORUS

Please don't say
There is nothing you can do
Show me how you feel

Stop being like them puppets on TV
I don't believe what you say
Tell me something real

You're just like them puppets on TV

I won't trade myself for someone else

You've seen on magazines
I'm not going to talk to Mrs. Star
From the movie screen

I don't want to feel anaesthetized
By them stupid words
I left behind


CHORUS
Please don't say

There is nothing you can do
Show me how you feel
Stop being like them puppets on TV

I don't believe what you say
Tell me something real
You're just like them puppets on TV


I don't believe what you say
I don't believe what you say

I don't believe what you say
Puppets on TV
I don't believe what you say

I don't believe what you say
I don't believe what you say
Puppets on TV
