You find it hard to sleep at night
This thing keeps you awake
It's your life, it's your lifeYour name's in all the papers
But they're calling you a fake
In your life, in your lifeBlinded by your vision
It's so hard for you to see
Rich man, poor man, wasn't just TVHey, you're gonna lose your paper paradise
It only takes a spark to make it burn
You might blow a fuse in paper paradise
What's it gonna take to make you learn
You just can't make it workSo much for your brain to do
You can't maintain the place
In your life, it's your lifeYour house is like a phone booth
You're so caught up in the race
For your life, it's your lifeIf you don't take the time
To read the writing on the wall
There'll be no one to catch you when you fallHey, you're gonna lose your paper paradise
It only takes a spark to make it burn
You might blow a fuse in paper paradise
What's it gonna take to make you learn
You just can't make it work
