Lyrics

Another note to self today, now we've found a reason,

Reflecting on a newfound reason or revelation.

To believe that Jim Henson is under control!

Expressing a belief that Jim Henson is being controlled.

We were told by the government, that he had died,

Government communication about Jim Henson's reported death.

But they had sent him underground,

Suggesting that Jim Henson is still active but in hiding.

Plan puppet, cheap texan accent.

Reference to a puppet with a fake Texan accent.


The sound, of cutting the strings to.

Symbolic imagery of cutting strings, breaking free.

Bring down, a death serenade.

Describing a destructive act with a musical metaphor.


Terrorized by what they've done,

Feeling terrorized by unknown actions or events.

A voice came from the doll's mouth,

Attributing a disturbing message to a doll's voice.

"Hello world, grab your ankles here I come!"

Introducing a threatening presence with an explicit warning.

As dollar signs grew in his eyes,

Describing the growing influence of money on the situation.

the council stood applauding,

Depicting a council approving of a destructive agenda.

"Now lets suck this fucking world dry!"

Expressing the intent to exploit and deplete the world's resources.


The sound, of cutting the strings to.

Reiterating the symbolic act of breaking free from control.

Bring down, a death serenade.

Repeating the destructive act with a musical metaphor.


"Dry, dry, go!"

Command to dry up, possibly an order to exploit resources.

But, victims grew sickened too fast.

People becoming disgusted or ill at the rapid exploitation.

As he fills his vision, he terrorized the world.

Describing the global impact of the menacing figure.

Ignore the past, let's whore the natural state.

Advocating for ignoring environmental concerns for profit.

He's the first and the last, to terrorize the world.

Declaring the menacing figure as the beginning and end of terror.

He sists and laughs 'cause we're so fucking afraid.

Amusement at the fear instilled by the menacing figure.

To rise and fall, tell me now 'cause I wanna do something.

Contemplating actions in response to the situation.

To rise above, tell me now I wanna start something.

Expressing a desire to rise above the current challenges.

Lets take down the show, and start on our own.

Call to end the current situation and embark on a new path.
