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 [bad word]  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
