Paper And Iron (Notes And Coins) |
| Paper, iron, won’t buy eden |
| Working for paper and for iron |
| Work for the right to keep my tie on Working for paper and for iron |
| Work for the unicorn and lion |
| I pray the kids aren’t starving |
| No chicken for the sunday carving |
| I’ll stay for one more farthing |
| I take home my notes and coins every week |
| I’m told i’m worth much more |
| But the church says turn the other cheek |
| The other cheek |
| Paper, iron, won’t buy eden. |
| I know the family needs me Can’t moan, the factory feeds me Won’t bite the hand that bleeds me I take home my notes and coins every week |
| I’ll inherit the earth i’m told |
| But the church says to remain this meek |
| Remain this meek |
| I’m still a proud man. |
| Won’t show anybody else my wage |
| A blend in the crowd man |
| Is this anybody’s golden age |
| Is this anybody’s golden age |
| Is this anybody’s golden age |
| Or am i dreaming of a golden cage |
| La la lo it’s paper |
| La la lo it’s iron |
| La la lo just paper |
| La la lo just iron |
