Xtc - Paper & Iron Lyrics
Paper, iron, wont buy edenWorking for paper and for ironWork for the right to keep my tie onWorking for paper and for ironWork for the unicorn and lionI pray the kids arent starvingNo chicken for the sunday carvingIll stay for one more farthingI take home my notes and coins every weekIm told Im worth much moreBut the church says turn the other cheekThe other cheekPaper, iron, wont buy eden.I know the family needs meCant moan, the factory feeds meWont bite the hand that bleeds meI take home my notes and coins every weekIll inherit the earth Im toldBut the church says to remain this meekRemain this meekIm still a proud man.Wont show anybody else my wageA blend in the crowd manIs this anybodys golden ageIs this anybodys golden ageIs this anybodys golden ageOr am I dreaming of a golden cageLa la lo its paperLa la lo its ironLa la lo just paperLa la lo just iron
