| Lyrics |
Paper, iron, won't buy Edenworking for paper and for ironwork for the right to keep my tie onworking for paper and for ironwork for the unicorn and lion
I pray the kids aren't starvingno 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 morebut the Church says turn the other cheekthe other cheekpaper, iron, won't buy Eden.I know the family needs mecan't moan, the factory feeds mewon't bite the hand that bleeds me
I take home my notes and coins every week
I'll inherit the earth I'm toldbut the Church says to remain this meekremain this meek
I'm still a proud man.
Won't show anybody else my wagea blend in the crowd manis this anybody's golden ageis this anybody's golden ageis this anybody's golden ageor am I dreaming of a golden cage
La la lo it's paperla la lo it's ironla la lo just paperla la lo just iron
