[Verse 1]
I was my parents' puppet 'til my teenage years
When I rebelled and swapped them for my peers
I used to sit for hours all alone
Without an opinion to call my own
I had to keep this compulsion to myself
This need to be like everybody else
But now I'm out of the closet and I feel free
'Cause I just saw Thunderbirds on TV

[Verse 2]
Yes, I've been outed and I'm so happy
I've found a role model just for me
I think I could be like those puppet guys
'Cause there's less to them than meets the eye

[Chorus]
(Five, four, three, two, one!)
Sing if you're proud to be plastic now
(Five, four, three, two, one!)
Thunderbirds are coming out

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Now I don't have to worry about a thing
As long as someone else is pulling my strings
My pop star can tell me what to know
I can get my political views from my youth radio
I can join the queues outside restaurant chains
I can do the Mexican wave
Just tell me what's in and I'll make sure I fit
Just herd me into that mosh pit
[Chorus]
(Five, four, three, two, one!)
Sing if you're proud to be plastic now
(Five, four, three, two, one!)
Thunderbirds are coming out
(Five, four, three, two, one!)
Sing if you're proud to be plastic now
(Five, four, three, two, one!)
Thunderbirds are coming out
