Puppets Lyrics

German puppets burned the Jews
Jewish puppets did not choose
Puppet vultures eat the dead
Puppet corpses they are fed
Puppet winds and puppet waves
Puppet sailors in their graves
Puppet flower, puppet stem
Puppet time dismantles them
Puppet me and puppet you
Puppet German
Puppet Jew

Puppet Presidents command
Puppet troops to burn the land
Puppet fire, puppet flames
Feed on all the puppet names
Puppet lovers in their bliss
Turn away from all of this
Puppet reader shakes his head
Takes his puppet wife to bed
Puppet me and puppet you
Puppet German, puppet Jew

Puppet Presidents command
Puppet troops to burn the land
Puppet fire, puppet flames
Feed on all the puppet names
Puppet night comes down to play
The after act to puppet day

What is the Meaning of Puppets?

Leonard Cohen's "Puppets" delves into the grim reality of human manipulation and control within societal and political structures. Through stark imagery, Cohen portrays individuals as mere puppets, manipulated by higher powers, whether in historical contexts like the Holocaust or broader themes of governance and warfare. His repetitive use of "puppet" emphasizes the loss of autonomy across various facets of life, suggesting a universal struggle against unseen forces that shape our destinies. This poignant reflection invites us to question our roles and the true puppeteers behind global events. #LeonardCohen #Puppets #Control
