《March of the Paper Tiger》歌词

[00:00:00] March of the Paper Tiger - Counterpunch

[00:00:18] Hold on

[00:00:19] Stay strong

[00:00:20] White knuckled and bruised

[00:00:21] We're going down

[00:00:23] Knocked around so long

[00:00:24] It's hard to tell what's up from down

[00:00:27] Derailed

[00:00:28] Entrails

[00:00:29] Dropping drastically further unto the floor

[00:00:32] The air has been let out

[00:00:34] Now we're dropping like a rock

[00:00:36] Tuned in utter disbelief

[00:00:39] All we're left with is what we've been told

[00:00:42] Brought to you by the highest bidder

[00:00:44] I can't believe it still surprises you to learn

[00:00:48] We've been sold out

[00:00:49] And I'm holding on to this photograph

[00:00:54] Of the American dream gone wrong

[00:00:59] Shattered by intolerance and greed

[00:01:02] Turning a blind eye and shadow casting

[00:01:05] While you're in your time of need

[00:01:07] Tyrant

[00:01:08] Despot

[00:01:09] The rats you've hatched are home to roost

[00:01:12] Why can't you understand

[00:01:14] They've already barged through

[00:01:16] The reckoning will be so swift and bittersweet

[00:01:20] So sorry to have ruined your day

[00:01:22] A paper tiger will never catch its prey

[00:01:25] Post the video for all to see

[00:01:28] Inflated high and proud

[00:01:30] How can we still find the balls to pound our chests

[00:01:34] While the foundation's crumbling from under our feet

[00:01:41] From under our feet

[00:01:44] Did you notice

[00:01:45] We've been sold out

[00:01:47] Come see your favorite pundit finally coming clean

[00:01:51] We've made our bed but we're scared

[00:01:54] We won't go to sleep

[00:01:56] A recipe so ripe for hate

[00:02:00] The sugar buzz is wearing off it's getting late

[00:02:04] This bed of roses smells like rotting piles of shit

[00:02:09] And the lullaby is sounding more like empty rhetoric

[00:02:13] Meanwhile the tiger marches to its drunken beat

[00:02:18] F**ked up on Valium and huffing cans of kerosene

[00:02:22] You better take my hand

[00:02:24] You better hold on tight

[00:02:27] I think we're going down

[00:02:29] My God we're going down

[00:02:32] I'm holding on

[00:02:36] To a photograph stripped

[00:02:38] Down to black and white

[00:02:41] Hanging crooked in the frame

[00:02:46] At least we know where to place the blame

[00:02:50] I'm holding on to these photographs

[00:02:54] Of the American dream gone wrong

[00:02:59] Shattered by intolerance and greed

[00:03:02] Turning a blind eye and shadow casting

[00:03:05] While you're in your

[00:03:07] And I'm holding on to these photographs

[00:03:12] Of the American dream goes wrong

[00:03:16] Shattered by intolerance and greed

[00:03:20] Turning a blind eye and shadow casting

[00:03:22] While you're in your time of need

[00:03:24] Tyrant

[00:03:27] Despot

[00:03:29] It's done

[00:03:31] The rats we hatch come home to roost
