Paper Walls

Take shelter this might be a big one
Paper walls won't hold it back
I don't think this will be it
But 'aint too sure about that

Been thinkin' about President Lincoln
Nowadays he seems Heaven-sent 
Wasn't always like that
He mostly made it up as he went

There sure 'aint no Abe Lincoln
Or even FDR near about
Just a paper tiger
With a Twitter account 

We can be bystanders
As the darkness falls 
And keep our distance 
Behind paper walls
