Lyrics

Verse 1

The organ grinder plays to the crowds,
Displays his puppets for all to see,
The crowd demand a new sensation,
Puppets perform but others flee,
The Grinder satisfies every mood,
A puppet for every occasion,
An endless stream for your every desire,
To appease the fleeting mind,

Chorus

Just a puppet prying for attention, fighting through the horde
Just a puppet crying for affection, need to feel accepted
Just a puppet prying for attention, to be the next wonder
Just a puppet crying for affection,

We’re all at the mercy of the Grinder!

Verse 2

The puppets scramble to please the grinder,
Hoping they’ll be made a star,
Wearing a new mask to wow the crowd,
A fresh design will take you far,
Famous today but forgotten tomorrow,
A battle for eyes wages on,
Stories, stunts and Schadenfreude,
The endless stream fulfils you.

Chorus

Just a puppet prying for attention, fighting through the horde
Just a puppet crying for affection, need to feel accepted
Just a puppet prying for attention, to be the next wonder
Just a puppet crying for affection,

We’re all at the mercy of the
We’re all at the mercy of the
We’re all at the mercy of the
Mercy of the
Grinder!

Chorus

Just a puppet prying for attention, fighting through the horde
Just a puppet crying for affection, need to feel accepted
Just a puppet prying for attention, to be the next wonder
Just a puppet crying for affection,

We’re all at the mercy of the (x3)
Mercy of the Grinder!
