Verse 1.
You say you love me, you say you care
But, all you do is shake your head and say is cut your hair
Now, I’m just a young man
No, and not as wise are you
But, I do know a few things to be true
You’ll never get anywhere if you criticize
You’ll wind up bellies-up, in the pool of your own lies
Now, I can see by your eyes, you think I’m a fool
But, I’ve been to school and I’ve learned …

Chorus
Paper burns
Pretty paper burns
Dirty paper burns

Verse 2.
The Last Whole Earth Catalogue is right here in my hands
I’m gonna build myself a dome and buy myself some land
This seems to be the dream of many a young man
Seems it may have something to say about making a stand
But remember….

Chorus
