Chapman, Tracy - Paper And Ink Lyrics






Touched the mirror
Broke the surface of the water
Saw my true self
All illusions shattered

Money's only paper only ink
We'll destroy ourselves if we can't agree
How the world turns
Who made the sun
Who owns the sea
The world we know will fall piece by piece

Sat down up close to the colored black hole
Like they'd always told me not to
Saw the one dimension polka dot pacifier
And all illusions shattered

Money's only paper only ink
We'll destroy ourselves if we can't agree
How the world turns
Who made the sun
Who owns the sea
The world we know will fall piece by piece

Bared myself wholly heart and body unadorned
Stripped down solely
To the evil and the good
Felt no shame
Naked to the world
And all illusions shattered

Money's only paper only ink
We'll destroy ourselves if we can't agree
How the world turns
Who made the sun
Who owns the sea
The world we know will fall piece by piece

Faced towards the sea
Looked to heaven up above
Felt the world revolve around me
No one could tell me otherwise
But the turbulent waters won't reflect this life
Only the sun the moon and sky
And all illusions shattered

Money's only paper only ink
We'll destroy ourselves if we can't agree
How the world turns
Who made the sun
Who owns the sea
The world we know will fall piece by piece

Money's only paper only ink

    "Monies only paper, only ink..
    We'll destroy ourselves, if we can't agree"..

    That's really profound.. Because, we've not agreed since the day we learnt how to communicate with each other and over time, we've piece by piece destroyed all that we've been blessed with.. I'm saddened when I hear this song because it's evidently true.. As I look around and see only destruction, dishonesty and disharmony rising, all because of money... hmmph.. Tracy Chapman is my hero when it come to truth in song, from the heart. We need more heroes like her in our world.. To make it a better place to be..

    Spot on. The price for ruining the environment can't be paid with money. It's better to agree to care for mother nature than face consequences of not doing so.
