Generate meaning
1
Paper, iron, won't buy Eden
2
Working for paper and for iron
3
Work for the right to keep my tie on
4
Working for paper and for iron
5
Work for the unicorn and lion
6
I pray the kids aren't starving
7
No chicken for the Sunday carving
8
I'll stay for one more farthing
9
I take home my notes and coins every week
10
I'm told I'm worth much more
11
But the Church says turn the other cheek
12
The other cheek
13
Paper, iron, won't buy Eden.
14
I know the family needs me
15
Can't moan, the factory feeds me
16
Won't bite the hand that bleeds me
17
I take home my notes and coins every week
18
I'll inherit the earth I'm told
19
But the Church says to remain this meek
20
Remain this meek
21
I'm still a proud man.
22
Won't show anybody else my wage
23
A blend in the crowd man
24
Is this anybody's golden age
25
Is this anybody's golden age
26
Is this anybody's golden age
27
Or am I dreaming of a golden cage
28
La la lo it's paper
29
La la lo it's iron
30
La la lo just paper
31
La la lo just iron
