Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Clock in, smile tight
Sell me a dream, then you dim my light
Boardroom prayers, all polished and sweet
While the rent get mean on my whole street
You say “growth” like that word don’t bite
But the bills don’t care how you dress it up right
Paper on paper, lies on lies
Same old suit with a new disguise
They talk clean, but it sound so cold
Take the young and the tired and the whole thing sold
I seen promises fold like cheap suits do
And every “trust us” turn black and blue
[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me, who you feeding?
Who you leaving bleeding?
I keep hearing gold
But my hands keep needing
[Chorus]
Paper mouths, paper mouths
Talk big, then they back out
Paper mouths, paper mouths
Tell me what that cash about (what that cash about)
Paper mouths, paper mouths
All that shine, still bad news
Paper mouths, paper mouths
I been hurt by the truth too
[Verse 2]
My mama said, “Baby, watch that grin”
Some of them smiles got a wolf in them
They sell peace with a clenched-up jaw
Then hide the bruise behind protocol
Meeting room, same old script
Push the blame while the profits lift
New slogan, same old sting
Same cheap crown on a crooked king
And the city keep swallowing names
People come in, then they disappear the same
I seen good folks break for a “maybe” check
Then get tossed aside like a card they wreck
You can dress a lie in a tailored coat
But the seam still show when the rain comes soak
I’m tired of the smoke and the staged-out tears
Tired of the shine hiding all them years
[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me, who you feeding?
Who you leaving bleeding?
I keep hearing gold
But my hands keep needing
[Chorus]
Paper mouths, paper mouths
Talk big, then they back out
Paper mouths, paper mouths
Tell me what that cash about (what that cash about)
Paper mouths, paper mouths
All that shine, still bad news
Paper mouths, paper mouths
I been hurt by the truth too
[Bridge]
If I speak, they call me angry
If I’m quiet, they keep me handy
That’s the trick, that’s the game
Make the wound look just like fame
But I know what a lock feel like
Know what a noose dressed up like
Know that grin when the room go still
And everybody nod while the body pays the bill
[Final Chorus]
Paper mouths, paper mouths
Talk big, then they back out
Paper mouths, paper mouths
Tell me what that cash about (what that cash about)
Paper mouths, paper mouths
All that shine, still bad news
Paper mouths, paper mouths
I been hurt by the truth too
[Outro]
Paper mouths
(yeah)
Paper mouths
I heard enough
