Lyrics for Paper Tigers

They preach to the choir Always in the permanent daylight They toss paper tigers from their perfect Porcelain skylines Listen for the sound (For the sound, for the sound) As it all comes crashing down (As it all comes crashing down) Listen for the sound (For the sound, for the sound) As it all comes crashing down (As it all comes crashing down) They preach to the choir Always in the permanent daylight They toss paper tigers from their perfect Shatterproof spires They light the world on fire Just to watch it burn It'll be their funeral pyre But they never seem to learn They light the world on fire Just to watch it burn It'll be their funeral pyre But they never seem to learn Listen for the sound (For the sound, for the sound) As it all comes crashing down (As it all comes crashing down) Listen for the sound (For the sound, for the sound) As it all comes crashing down (As it all comes crashing down) And we paid the price We paid for their crimes with our blood With our blood, with our blood, with our blood Paid with our blood and our lives With our blood and our lives With our blood and our lives With our blood and our lives With our blood and our lives
