Intro
N.C.
All the paper gods in a sky of grey
All the fools in town are ruling today... today
BbGm
Bow to the paper gods in a world that is paper thin
DmF
The fools in town are ruling now
BbGm
Bleeding from paper cuts, money for head shots
DmF
Fools leading. Who needs it?
DmDm-C-AVerse 1Dm
Hey you're gonna want it all the talking man declares
(Dm)
Go running to be first in line, for what? Nobody cares
C
The next thing you must have. Find peace with matching bag
(C)
It's nothing to be glad about, or sad when you forget about it
Dm
And while the race is on the rats will run the street
(Dm)
The slaver in a sweatshop putting trainers on your feet
C
And walking through the rain oblivious to pain
A
To shelter from the blame without a reason to complain about it
DmC
Don't complain about it. Don't complain about it
A
Forget about it
Chorus 1BbGm
Bow to the paper gods in a world that is paper thin
Dm
The fools in town are ruling now
BbGm
Bleeding from paper cuts, money for head shots
DmF
Fools leading. Who needs it?
DmVerse 2Dm
She's staring out in underwear from your computer screen
(Dm)
It's all on sale for dirty cash, we can wash it clean
C
So hang it out online, confess and you'll feel fine
(C)
And if you got the time to spare we want to know which name you're wearing
Dm
And when the final curtain finally comes down
(Dm)
We'll all be in the party room no wiser as to how
C
The total human race became a basket case
A
It's nothing to lose face about, it's really not our place to doubt it
Chorus 2BbGm
Bow to the paper gods in a world that is paper thin
Dm
The fools in town are ruling now

Bleeding from paper cuts, money for head shots,

Fools leading. Who needs it?
