With apologies to Peter Gabriel, an ode to the much maligned and ever so simple
joys of being a:

SOCKPUPPET
(Sledgehammer)

You won't have a real name
But it's easy keepin' track
No one ever knows if you're lyin'
You don't have to cut them slack

Who cares what they call you
You'll be anything you need

You could be an ass ripper
Going up and down, around the turn
You can be a dumper car . . .dumpin'
As you watch the Bozos burn

So why not be . . . a sock puppet
You just make up a name
It's great to be a sock puppet
This too can be your testimony

Postin' on a newsgroup
It's such a joyful thing to do
Actin' like a fruit loop
While you're bein' somone else not you

So why not be . . . a sock puppet
You can just pick a name
It's fun to be a sock puppet
Just give your daily life a rest
Yes . . sock puppet
You can just pick a name
It's fun to be a sock puppet
Let's all jump up and shout about it

Sock €¦ Sock €¦
Sock puppet

Just kick the habit
Shed your skin
Put on a new face
Then go posting in
Then go posting in
Oh won't you post as me
And I will post as you
Post as me
I will post as you . . .
