I've said before that I'm not a recent fan of Metallica, but one of their songs really has truth to it: "MASTER OF PUPPETS." The song, says the band (I read out of a magazine), is about drug use and how it basically turns you into a slave/puppet. (Note that the band was partial to alcohol, and also note I retract previous remarks about them.) The song was written in 1986 I believe, when they were popular (touring as a supporting act with Ozzy Osbourne), but not as popular as they are today. Here are the oh-so-true lyrics. Enjoy.

"Master of Puppets" by Metallica

End of passion play, crumbling away
I'm your source of self-destruction
Veins that pump with fear, sucking darkest clear, Leading on your death's construction

(Chorus):
Taste me you will see
More is all you need
You're dedicated to
How I'm killing you
Come crawling faster
Obey your master
Your life burns faster
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
Just call my name 'cause I'll hear you scream
Master, Master
Just call my name 'cause I'll hear you scream
(End of Chorus)

Needlework the way, never you betray
Life of death becoming clearer
Pain monopoly, ritual misery
Chop your breakfast on a mirror

(Chorus)

Master, master, Where's the dreams that I've been after?
Master, master, You promised only lies
Laughter, Laughter, All I hear and see is laughter
Laughter, laughter, laughing at my cries

Hell is worth all that, natural habitat
Just a rhyme without a reason
Neverending maze, drift on numbered days
Now your life is out of season.

(Chorus.)
