Glass-Grin Paper (v2)

[Verse 1] You sold us fear in suits Signed it with a grin Kept the truth behind the glass And locked the people in You fed us half a meal Then called it “better days” But every hand you shook Left a stain you couldn’t wash away [Pre-Chorus] We see the paper lies We see the hungry eyes You built your throne on noise Now hear the room decide [Chorus] Paper lies, paper lies We are done with paper lies Paper lies, paper lies We choose truth over your lines No more smoke, no more games We won’t bow, we know your name Paper lies, paper lies We are done with paper lies [Verse 2] Backroom smiles, closed-door deals While the bills stack high You called it law and order But it was all a lie Every promise etched in dust Every speech gone cold You took from hands like ours And asked us still to hold [Pre-Chorus] We see the paper lies We hear the voices rise You built your throne on noise Now watch the people rise [Chorus] Paper lies, paper lies We are done with paper lies Paper lies, paper lies We choose truth over your lines No more smoke, no more games We won’t bow, we know your name Paper lies, paper lies We are done with paper lies [Bridge] We will not break with fists We will not burn the street We’ll cut you down with truth And put you off your seat One vote, one voice, one light Through every locked-up door You counted on our silence Now we are silent no more [Chorus] Paper lies, paper lies We are done with paper lies Paper lies, paper lies We choose truth over your lines No more smoke, no more games We won’t bow, we know your name Paper lies, paper lies We are done with paper lies
