Mannequin

They twist our arms and turn our heads

Box us up like we're the living undead

No strings attached but the puppet lines

They tie us down

Bury us alive

But they said we look pretty so don't get upset

Just don't get too old and keep your stomach unfed

We're all are paintings and art

Cos they cut out our tongues

Turned to stone

Like a mannequin

Like a mannequin

Mannequin

Carve their names on our skin

Mannequin

Mannequin

Frozen

Silent

Pulled strings

Like a mannequin

Mannequin

Manipulating our limbs

To dress and dance

Like a mannequin

Like a mannequin

Mannequin

Mannequin

Saw a show the other day

Boy no more than 14

Took a knife and stabbed a girl

Cause she didn't fancy him

Blame the parents

Blame his friends

Blame them to your heart's content

How could we blame the boy?

"Look at him

He's innocent!"

She never stood a chance

Made sure her eyes stayed shut

Left her bruised

Such a tragedy

Never to wake up

He took her breath

Took the life right out her chest

And turned her to stone

Like a mannequin

Like a mannequin

Mannequin

Carve their names on our skin

Mannequin

Mannequin

Frozen

Silent

Pulled strings

Like a mannequin

Mannequin

Manipulating our limbs

To dress and dance

Like a mannequin

Like a mannequin

Mannequin

Mannequin

Mannequin
