Puppet

歌詞

Yeah, lately I feel like a puppet, being pulled in 50 million different places Girlfriend's on the phone, the other line I got my agent Like hey Jake, got good news, we just booked another tour Yea that's good and all but that just means another civil war between me and my girl What am I supposed to say? Hey baby, how you doing? I missed you, oh, by the way I'm bout to leave again I'm going on a fall tour But I'll be back before you know it, then I'm all yours Listen, Jake, she'll understand, this is more important Oh, really? You wanna tell her that? 'Cause if I ever did she'd probably kill me Look I'm sorry, Jake but it's done deal, you're leaving Thursday And you'll be on the road during Christmas and your birthday Great, my girl's mad 'cause I ain't there a lot And now I gotta spend my birthday in the courtyard Marriott Jake, I know you're stressed, man, you've had a busy year But this is what you signed up for, this is your career This industry ain't for the weak-hearted, Jake, I thought you knew That you can't pursue your dream and have a normal life, too If you ain't ready tell me now, I never said that it was easy Otherwise I'll be in my office, you know where to reach me Damn, I'm feeling like a puppet A goddamn puppet Being pulled in a million different ways Man, I think I'm bout to break I'm a puppet A goddamn puppet Sick of feeling like a puppet Sometimes I wanna disappear, All these voices in my ear I'm a puppet Look, hang up with my agent, put my phone down on the table Five seconds later get a call from my label Like hey, Jake, how you doing? Tell me how's the album coming? We heard your last song and honestly we didn't love it We don't think it'll make the cut, could've written better verses Deadline's in a month and now we starting to get nervous Stop getting so distracted, start picking up the pen You need more time in the studio, and less time with your friends 'Cause it's crunch time, should be doing nothing but making music We follow you on Instagram, see everything you doing Yea we see you at the beach, at the gym, at the mall To be honest, doesn't seem like you're working hard at all How dare you say that I don't even have time to take a shit I've been working non-stop and I'll be honest, I admit Sometimes I need a break, this life can drive a man crazy Especially when your label keeps calling saying you're lazy Listen, Jake, I know it's hard Sometimes it isn't fun But if this album tanks, well your career could be done If you ain't ready tell us now, never said that it was easy Otherwise I'll be in my office, you know where to reach me Damn, I'm feeling like a puppet A goddamn puppet Being pulled in a million different ways Man, I think I'm bout to break I'm a puppet A goddamn puppet Sick of feeling like a puppet Sometimes I wanna disappear, All these voices in my ear I'm a puppet
