Paper Dreamers
~~
All you folks in paper hats
You think paper's where it's at.
Paper suits and paper ties...
... don't you know that paper LIES?
Paper silver, paper gold,
Paper's bought, and paper's sold.
Does paper have ANY worth?
It's just a tree cut from the earth!
Your god is almighty Paper...
... The Presidents are your deal makers.
Paper lions, paper hearts,
In the end they're TORN APART...
Paper tigers, paper souls,
Punch them and they're
FULL OF HOLES...
Paper masks, paper streamers,
All you are are
PAPER DREAMERS.
Whatever happened to your returns?
Don't you know that paper BURNS?
Some CEOs? Thieves and LIARS!
Out there starting FOREST FIRES!
Where's the nest egg of older folk?
Their investment's up in SMOKE!
Greed is what we're talking here,
And all it is is paper FEAR...
"Will I keep up? Is mine the best...?"
They're just KIDS in paper vests!
"If you don't leave my paper alone...
... I'll just take my paper HOME!!!"
Paper boats and paper toys
For paper girls and paper boys...
Paper rats and paper chase,
'Fraid you'll lose the paper race?
Paper masks and paper schemers,
All you are are
PAPER DREAMERS.
Deep inside your spirit SCREAMS!
There's no substance to your dreams!
All you are is dust and spit?
H2O and dirt... that's it?
Don't you feel that hole inside?
Put away your paper pride!
What will happen when you die,
When you find it's all a LIE...
You KNOW I'm telling you the TRUTH.
You've wasted your life,
You've lost your youth!
If you've a question, why not ask it?
Just some more paper for your basket?
Magazines, newspapers, what's in print?
More paper for the treasury's mint?
C'mon people! Let's get real!
This is NOT "Let's Make a Deal"!!!
Door #1 or 2 or 3...
Is that how you deal with
ETERNITY???!!!
Better be sure you're on the dime,
'Cuz eternity's a long... L O N G.... TIME.
Paper wings or paper veils?
Paper heads or paper tails...
... keep life in a paper cup
Guess what?
Your time is
UP.
