Paper Tiger Lyrics by ALL

Allroy Sez...

1988

[Verse 1]
The trains all run on time here
(The trains all run on time here)
Got such a straight and narrow mind here
(Got such a straight and narrow mind here)
Just too bad you're not a part of the picture

[Verse 2]
The things he says are always right
(The things he says are always right)
The things he sees are black and white
(The things he sees are black and white)
So sorry you've got no place in his future

[Chorus]
Paper tiger, man of steel
The hero from the movie reel
So killer cool so he can't feel a thing

[Verse 3]
For him to bend is to break
(Stubborn weakness he calls strength)
He's got it made, make no mistake
(Hide the rust beneath new paint)
His smile is his most sinister feature

[Verse 4]
Profit proves his point of view
(Talks so loud it must be true)
Doesn't want friends and doesn't need you
(And it's your world he's welcome to)
You look so small to a man of such stature

[Chorus]
Paper tiger, man of steel
The hero from the movie reel
So killer cool so he can't feel a thing
