[Intro]
Yeah, yeah, uh
Check it, listen up
They pull the strings, we dance, uh
[Verse]
I see your face behind the curtain, power-drunk and vain
While mothers bury children caught in your sick chess game
You orchestrate catastrophe from marble-tower heights
Then blame the pawns for bleeding when you triggered all the fights
Lines drawn in sand become the trenches where we die
Your handshake deals carve borders while the innocent just cry
I speak to you, decision-maker, architect of pain
Your legacy's a graveyard and your profit is our chain
You manufacture enemies to justify your reign
Turn neighbors into strangers, make their suffering your gain
I know your face, I know your name, I know your twisted ways
You count your coins while counting down our numbered, final days
[Chorus]
Who gave you the right to play with lives?
Who said you could roll the dice?
Blood money in your bank account
While we pay the final price
Power shifts like desert winds
But the people always lose
I'm talking to you, Puppet Master
What's your next excuse?
[Verse]
Your allies switch like weather patterns, loyalty's a lie
Yesterday's friend becomes tomorrow's reason people die
You sit in rooms with other wolves dividing up the world
While families flee destruction that your signatures unfurled
I watch you shake hands with the devil, call it diplomacy
Your treaties written in the blood of those who can't be free
You paint your wars as righteous, dress aggression up as peace
While ordinary people pray for suffering to cease
The maps you draw erase our homes, our heritage, our past
Your temporary power built on principles that can't last
I see through your pretenses, all your calculated moves
You're just another tyrant, but the earth still spins and proves
[Chorus]
Who gave you the right to play with lives?
Who said you could roll the dice?
Blood money in your bank account
While we pay the final price
Power shifts like desert winds
But the people always lose
I'm talking to you, Puppet Master
What's your next excuse?
[Breakdown]
Da-da-da-da, ba-ba-ba-ba
Power corrupts, power corrupts
Da-da-da-da, ba-ba-ba-ba
Until it self-destructs
Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na
We see right through your bluff
Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na
Enough is enough
[Bridge]
History will judge your choices
Future generations asking why
Did you think your reign eternal?
Even empires have to die
I'm speaking for the voiceless
For the ones you left behind
Your empire built on quicksand
Justice will be defined
[Chorus]
Who gave you the right to play with lives?
Who said you could roll the dice?
Your legacy crumbles down
As the truth begins to rise
The people see your true face
Behind your thin disguise
I spoke my truth, Puppet Master
Now watch your kingdom die
[Outro]
Yeah, your time is up
The people rise
Your lies exposed
(Oh, oh, oh)
