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 letting 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 moving on my wayward son See the method to their madness It's a broken trail, a blood-stained gun And no way out of darkness Hear the calling, 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 its 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
