Lyrics Clutch – Paper & Strife

Reptilian oil pompadour set to kill
150 pesos ain’t enough to pay these bills

Liberate the Spanish prisoner
The clock’s ticking and the time grows near

Iraqi dinars by the metric ton
Robert Johnson’s contract oh you know you need one

Liberate the Spanish prisoner
The clock’s ticking and the time grows near
If you won’t maybe your neighbor will
Regional salesman of the year
If you won’t maybe your neighbor will
Regional salesman of the year

The twisted words of a grifter
Tall tales of a marginal life
Heart as dark as the inkwell
The world turns on paper and strife
Uh huh paper and strife
Uh huh paper and strife
Uh huh paper and strife
Uh huh paper and strife

You’re a shining example
Of America at her best
Unlike the Joneses next door
Who are clearly raging communists

Liberate the Spanish prisoner
The clock’s ticking and the time grows near
If you won’t maybe your neighbor will
Regional salesman of the year

The twisted words of a grifter
Tall tales of a marginal life
Heart as dark as the inkwell
The world turns on paper and strife
Uh huh paper and strife
Uh huh paper and strife
Uh huh paper and strife
Uh huh paper and strife
