Puppet Boy Lyrics
wake up, puppet boy!
Get up puppet boy
you got a job to do
even so you're free to go
where your master tells you to
listen, puppet boy
before you disobey
consider that the strings attached
could put all pictures in your mind
puppet boy
it's the little things that count
little problems, little minds
little points of view
puppet boy
it's the little add up
getting bigger, pull the trigger
little things like you
stand up, puppet boy
time to start the show
you'd better do some brand new moves
they paid a lot to watch you go
no!
what's that, puppet boy
don't tell me what to do
what's that puppet boy
I'm not a creep like you
what's that puppet boy
I'll move when I want to
I can't hear you puppet boy
now dance, dance, dance
stay out of bed unless you wanna get wet
I'm a boy, not a toy, and I'm not through yet
stay out of bed unless you wanna get wet
I'm a boy, not a toy, and I'm not through yet
now wake up puppet boy
listen, puppet boy
you're not a robot slave
consider that the strings attached
could ever make you misbehave.

This is the fun thing about Devo - their songs can be widely open to interpretation. For this song, there is no direct talking point but interpretations can range anywhere from the small to the large. I think they're talking about the life of postal workers, though.
