Lyrics for Paper And Iron Notes And Coins by Xtc:
| | | Artist: | Xtc |
| | Album: | Black Sea | | Track: | Paper And Iron Notes And Coins | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 252 | | | | Lyrics: | 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 | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
