    The String Thing
    Like them fish bait
    They will string you along
    Through your lust and greed
    They will feed upon

    Like the puppeteer
    Them will lead you on
    Use the media
    Steady string you along

    Have you sing a crazy song
    About a thong or doing flat out wrong

    DING-DONG
    Nobody home

    Programmed off them program
    The string them have you on
    Is pretty long

    Have you back and forth
    Like olympic ping-pong

    DING-DONG
    Still nobody home

    Welcome to them zombie zone

    Attack of the clones
    Video image got the identity gone

    String them along so the store
    can store your money

    And when that's gone

    The last string they'll put you on

    Will be thrown over the tree to hang you on.
