Let me tell you a tale no taller than I am
’Bout an act I was in way back
Turnt out to be a sham
Still had strings on my back at that point in time
She made me sing, wisecrack, and pantomime 
The only warmth I felt was the spotlight shine
 
Wooden doll ain’t all that bad coulda been the hull of a wrecked ship
A dreidel that couldn’t spin or a six foot deep coffin
But with her hand creepin’ up my spine
Thoughts could never be mine
So I had to cut my strings, maybe lose the cape, make my escape  
Felt like cutting a vein
But to her I was cutting the reins

’Cause, I ain’t your rag doll, darlin’
No siree 
No that ain’t me
I got bones and blood though you may disagree
I hope you’re choking on your water 
’Cause my thoughts ain’t made to order
No siree

So no matter how immobilizing
Lay off that ventriloquizing
Live in a town without a leash law
Learn how to use a hacksaw
Despite this phantom pain and right proper paranoia 
Despite them lies that sprouted up into sequoias
Well I still meant at least half the things I told ya

’Cause, I ain’t your rag doll, darlin’
No siree 
That ain’t me
I got bones and blood though you may disagree
I hope you’re choking on your water 
’Cause my thoughts ain’t made to order
No siree
