All the paper gods in a sky of grey All the fools in town are ruling today... today Bow to the paper gods in a world that is paper thin The fools in town are ruling now Bleeding from paper cuts money for head shots Fools leading. Who needs it? -- [Verse 1] Hey you’re gonna want it all the talking man declares Go running to be first in line for what? Nobody cares The next thing you must have. Find peace with matching bag It’s nothing to be glad about or sad when you forget about it And while the race is on the rats will run the street The slaver in a sweatshop putting trainers on your feet And walking through the rain oblivious to pain To shelter from the blame without a reason to complain about it Don’t complain about it. Don’t complain about it Forget about it [Chorus 1] Bow to the paper gods in a world that is paper thin The fools in town are ruling now Bleeding from paper cuts money for head shots Fools leading. Who needs it? [Verse 2] She’s staring out in underwear from your computer screen It’s all on sale for dirty cash we can wash it clean So hang it out online confess and you’ll feel fine And if you got the time to spare we want to know which name you’re wearing And when the final curtain finally comes down We’ll all be in the party room no wiser as to how The total human race became a basket case It’s nothing to lose face about it’s really not our place to doubt it [Chorus 2] Bow to the paper gods in a world that is paper thin The fools in town are ruling now Bleeding from paper cuts money for head shots Fools leading. Who needs it? [Middle 8] -#-#-- -#-#- Paper walls falling down Paper house paper town Paper gods falling down The paper world is falling down Paper walls falling down Paper house paper town Paper gods falling down The paper world is falling down Falling down falling down Falling down falling down Falling down falling down [Chorus 3] Bow to the paper gods in a world that is paper thin The fools in town are ruling now Bleeding from paper cuts they go for the money shot Fools leading. Who needs them? All the paper gods in a sky of grey All the fools in town are ruling today... today [Outro] #--

La chanson évoque une désillusion face à un monde dominé par des valeurs superficielles et matérialistes. Elle décrit comment les gens se précipitent vers des désirs éphémères, perdus dans une quête insensée de statut et de biens matériels, tout en restant inconscients des véritables enjeux et des souffrances qui les entourent. Les "dieux de papier" symbolisent cette fragilité des idéaux et des aspirations, soulignant la vacuité de cette existence où tout semble tomber à l’eau. Le contexte de cette œuvre s'inscrit dans une période où la société est fortement influencée par la technologie et les réseaux sociaux, propageant des images et des idéaux souvent illusoires. C'est une réflexion sur l’impact de la consommation et des priorités déformées d'un monde moderne, où la superficialité prend souvent le pas sur des valeurs essentielles.
