(Cm)You're so free 
That's what everybody's telling me 
Yet I feel I'm like an (Ab)outward-bound, (Bb)pushed around, (Cm)refugee 
Something's wrong, got a feeling that I don't belong 
As if I have come from (Ab)outer space, (Bb)out of place, (Cm)like King Kong 
 
(no chord)I'm a marionette, just a marionette, pull the string 
I'm a marionette, everybody's pet, just as long as I sing 
I'm a marionette, see my pirouette, 'round and 'round 
I'm a marionette, I'm a marionette, just a silly old clown 
 
Like a doll, like a puppet with no will at all 
And somebody taught me how to talk, how to walk, how to fall 
Can't complain, I've got no-one but myself to blame 
Something's happening I can't control, lost my hold, it's insane 
 
(Chorus) 
 
Look this way, just a little smile, is what they say 
You look better on the photograph if you laugh, that's okay!! 
 
(Chorus) 
 
You're so free 
That's what everybody's telling me 
Yet I feel I'm like an outward-bound, pushed around, refugee
