Imperial goliath
Lost in unhelpful space
And you know who’s creating islands
Of increasing entropy
Mesmerised circus monkeys
Dissolve like Quaaludes in lemonade
Industrial moguls trot out their sermons
They’re all, they’re begging for a new sound

Marionettes with halos sell out their rights
Oooh, crack, baby, crack
Marionettes with halos immortalized
Doomed variety acts
Marionettes with halos sell out their rights
Crack, baby, crack

You’re so full of lies
Pimped in x-factor make-up
Applause over end credits
As the ghouls leave the theatre
You may be very sexy
But you’re not an artist at all
Karaoke pipe dreams of rock'n'roll eunochs
Proclaiming Dick Rowe for their hero

Marionettes with halos sell out their rights
Oooh, crack, baby, crack
Marionettes with halos immortalized
Doomed variety acts
Marionettes with halos sell out their rights
Oooh, crack, baby, crack

Crack, baby, crack

Marionettes with halos sell out their rights
Oooh, crack, baby, crack
Marionettes with halos immortalized
Doomed variety acts
Marionettes with halos sell out their rights
Oooh, crack, baby, crack

Marionettes with halos sell out their rights
Marionettes with halos
Crack, baby, crack
(Crack, baby, crack)
(Crack, baby, crack)
Oooh, crack, baby, crack
