I'm working on your mind I'm working on your brain It's subtle but it's true I'm controlling everything Pulling the puppet strings I tell you what to do I tell you what to say There is no black & white, I've turned it all to gray Maybe you want to live but I alone decide Cause if I get the urge I'll tell you "suicide" Everyone's an actor & directing is such fun When I am in control of this soap opera re-run (Chorus) On the stage that we were born We play a losing game But on the cross of Jesus Christ All puppet strings will break All you need is faith all you need is faith Last night I had a dream a vision of today A hundred billion strings leading us astray & then I saw his lace that evil puppeteer Satan is his name & sin & d**h his game
