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
