Paper Blood

In our shop, as you can see

You’d be a man, you wanna be

Unhappy with the way it goes?

You’d buy another life

And our prices… who can beat?

Here’s royal flesh and common meat

You name it, my associate is sharpening her knife

Please take a peek inside,

Tell me how it feels like

You’re spilling

Paper blood in the blaze of glory,

Paper blood, on the holy ground

Paper blood, never ending story

Paper blood makes the world go round and round

We’ve got it covered to the tee

Another wife? Just take a brief

Lok at this fine selection of those bitches from the East

We’re selling friend, we’re selling cars

A recent show with superstars

A child, a war, a heart, a soul

It’s all to make you pleased….right!

Nothing is too strange

When we are in this price range

You burning paper blood in the blaze of glory

Paper blood on the holy ground

Paper blood, never ending story

Paper blood can buy a tiny crown

For this sad and weary clown

So he can smile and take a look around

Across his kingdom, false as it could be

And what’s wrong with that?

Where tears of joy are impossible to see

What do we need them for?

Where heartfelt laughter’s not what you will hear

And so what?

Enough of that, ‘coz it’s my biggest fear

You’re burning

Paper blood in the blaze of glory,

Paper blood, on the holy ground

Paper blood, never ending story

Paper blood makes the world go round and round

Round and round

Round and round
