DUDE MAN

When I was a boy, I felt so alone
The world was so big and unknown
Surrounded by those who did not understand
There was no appreciation that was shown

And so I did what I do best
I unlocked my mind that was being suppressed
Created a being I could call a friend
With no one around who would dare detest

My friend, from beyond
What an iniquitous being I've spawned
I thought we were one in the same, but we're not
Whatever you're planning, I've put up my guard

I've been betrayed
I'm on my own
And now I'm lost again
I'm overthrown

Cast out into this place
The origin, my own creation
The sin of my disgrace
What evils must I face?

I'm stuck within a universe
Where I'm easily replaced
They call me Dude Man
T-I-O, the iniquitous one

Betrayed by my friend
Now again I live my life alone
From this dimension
All that I can do is pull the strings

Pull the strings, pull the strings, pull the strings

Manipulation
Using those who need a helping hand
Retaliation
Vengeance towards the one who called me friend

From this dimension
All you see me do is pulling strings
Pulling strings, pulling strings, pulling strings

I'm building an army to serve my own needs
To serve my own purposes where I can't be
Though I cannot leave, it's a means to an end
I'll show you what happens when you call me friend

I've been betrayed
I'm on my own
And now I'm lost again
I'm overthrown

Cast out into this place
The origin, my own creation
The sin of my disgrace
What evils must I face?

I'm stuck within a universe
Where I'm easily replaced
They call me Dude Man
T-I-O, the iniquitous one

Betrayed by my friend
Now again I live my life alone
From this dimension
All that I can do is pull the strings

Pull the strings, pull the strings, pull the strings

Manipulation
Using those who need a helping hand
Retaliation
Vengeance towards the one who called me friend

From this dimension
All you see me do is pulling strings
Pulling strings, pulling strings, pulling strings
