You love to tell me who I am and tell me who I ain't
Tell me I should speak my mind
unless you don't like what I got to say
Tell me how to wear my hair and put my make-up on my face
Go on, tell me "Girl, cut loose"
then you keep a tight grip on my reigns
Well, okay

OOh, puppet on your string
OOh, throw me into the ring

Oh, what a shame, you can't win
I'm stuck in the game but I bought in
It's all for the money, all for the show
I'm just another toy pony in a plastic rodeo, oh-oh

When nothing's ever as it seems, the man behind the machine
He'll make you sell your soul
and cut holеs in your rip off dreams, oh-oh
I put the blood, sweat and tеars into a ten year plan
Colorado to Hollywood and buy some Tennessee land
But I was just a pawn, I put my fate in your hands
Front the band, do the dance, god damn the man

Oh, what a shame, you can't win
I'm stuck in the game but I bought in
It's all for the money, all for the show
I'm just another toy pony in a plastic rodeo, oh-oh, oh

You put a wild horse into a doll house
You doller her all up just to let her down
You took a wild horse, gave her the runaround
That's just your running round
Yeah, I'm still running 'round
Yeah, I'm still running 'round

Oh, what a shame, you can't win
I'm stuck in the game but we're all all-in
It's all for the money, all for the show
I'm just another toy pony
I'm just another toy pony in a plastic rodeo, oh-oh, oh
In a plastic rodeo
I'm just another toy pony
