Lyrics + translation · letras.mus.br

🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • Obey your master (master)
  • Your life burns faster (faster)
  • Obey your master, master
  • Master of puppets, I'm pulling your strings

Sing it again — final chorus

  • Obey your master, master
  • Master of puppets, I'm pulling your strings
  • Twisting your mind and smashing your dreams
  • Blinded by me, you can't see a thing
