lyrics
Paper tiger meet the stray man
A sickle and some fire do the best you can
Your life’s work or so you say
Do it some other way
Stray man, gnash your teeth
That bitter taste lasts for weeks
The paper tiger has got you down
Straw and chaff flying all around
The one who gets away
is the one who gets his way
The one who gets away
The one who gets his way, alright now
The one who gets away
Is the one who has his say
Paper tiger look up at the sky
The last thing you’ll see before you die
The straw man has run you through
Sawdust blood pouring over you
And we don’t have a choice
