I remember what my father said

the day he paid the piper

You gotta free your mind

but don't lose your head

It takes a road to be a rider



The more you want it the less you have - you know

and the hardest part is the art of lettin' go



Whatever they say -

don't you know it's just a paper tiger

Don't you know it's just a phantom in your mind

Take a look at all the ties that bind you - from

behind



So keep movin on - my wayward son

see, the method to their madness

is a broken trail, a blood stained gun

and no way out of darkness



Hear the callin' - keep the demons down

Hate is ruling, but love is all around



Whatever they say -

don't you know it's just a paper tiger

Don't you know it's just a phantom in your mind

Take a look at all the ties that bind you - from

behind



Don't you know it's just a paper tiger

Fear is nothing but a castle in the sand

And a heart, that can break like china - in your hand

In your hand

In your hand



Whatever they say -

don't you know it's just a paper tiger

Don't you know it's just a phantom in your mind

Take a look at all the ties that bind you - from

behind



Don't you know it's just a paper tiger

Fear is nothing but a castle in the sand

And a heart, that can break like china - in your hand

Paper tiger

Paper tiger
