you find it hard to sleep at night
this thing keeps you awake
it's your life
it's your life
your name's in all the papers
but they're calling you a fake
in your life
in your life
blinded by your vision it's so hard for you to see
righ man
poor man wasn't just tv. hey
you're gonna lose your paper paradise
it only takes a spark to make it burn
you might blow a fuse in paper paradise
what's it gonna take to make you learn
you just can't make it work. so much for your brain to do
you can't maintain the place
in your life
it's your life
your house is like a phone booth
you're so caught up in the race
for your life
it's your life
if you don't take the time to read the writing on the wall
there'll be no one to catch you when you fall. hey
you're gonna lose your paper paradise
it only takes a spark to make it burn
you might blow a fuse in paper paradise
what's it gonna take to make you learn
you just can't make it work.
