Paper dreams on plastic lies
Corrupting us with their paper dreams
That tell us we can't be happy without that paper
That tell us we can't be happy unless we buy that plastic
And sell our souls to their paper dreams
And plastic lies
Those people tell us
That the only way to live
And play in their little game
Is to buy into this fantasy
That tell us that we can't be happy
Until we have bought every single toy
Until we have bought ourselves dry
Trying to fulfill this paper dream
And those who see the truth
For what it really is
And decide not to play the game altogether
Are ostracized and seen as a nuisance
Or crazy
And seen as people to be gotten rid of
Disposed of
Because they refuse to buy into the paper dreams
And the plastic lies
We need to open our eyes
There is more than enough in the world
For everyone to have plenty
And for our Earth to heal
And for us to pay more attention
To our planet
And to the people standing right in front of us
We are so filled with greed
Chasing these plastic lies
That make us hide ourselves
That make us fake
Following the rules
And separating ourselves from each other
That a lot of us don't even realize they are doing it
They have become so used to immediately seeing themselves
As somehow better
Somehow more important
Than other people
Because they buy into the plastic lies
And the paper dreams
But we are all equal
We all have something to give
And we all have something to gain
By giving up these dreams and lies
And getting back to the natural way
Before we started buying into this reality
