lirik lagu robert thornberry - the papers
[intro]
don’t let the papers get you down
they don’t speak for anyone, to prove it, look around
so don’t let the papers break you down
it’s not weak to cry, so let it out
[verse]
5 p.m. when they land on the beach, ran to stay alive
met with pure hostility as soon as they arrive
fleeing from the bloodshed with nothing to their names
politicians weaponising fear to reach their aims
[pre~chorus]
seaside bar where a few dozen strangers
notice the children as they’rе locked up in cages
nevеr said a word because they already knew
drinks on us, it’s what a human would do
sharing glasses and stories till dawn
welcoming them in with open arms
cause we’re not who they want us to be
[chorus]
don’t let the papers get you down
they don’t speak for anyone. to prove it, look around
so don’t let the papers break you down
it’s not weak to cry, so let it out and cry
cause when you’re sinking, fast, into the ocean
lungs are filling, drowning in emotion
i’ll be here, don’t throw your spark away
so, break the dam and swim in the destruction
don’t believe the lies and the corruption
swim to shore, you’ll live another day
[verse]
three deep breaths, and she looks into the mirror
used to be cloudy, now it’s a little bit clearer
talking with her parents, the truth starts to sprout
like herself, it’s all coming out
they were so happy that she could be
comfortable calling herself “she”
deep inside, she knew she’d be respected
but paranoia had already infected
[pre~chorus]
we’re made to feel like being truthful makes us wrong
the labels set aside for us were made up all along
but progress is always an uphill battle
[chorus]
don’t let the papers get you down
they don’t speak for anyone. to prove it, look around
so don’t let the papers break you down
it’s not weak to cry, so let it out and cry
cause when you’re sinking, fast, into the ocean
lungs are filling, drowning in emotion
i’ll be here, don’t throw your spark away
so, break the dam and swim in the destruction
don’t believe the lies and the corruption
swim to shore, you’ll live another day
[bridge]
when you’re sinking, fast, into the ocean
lungs are filling, drowning in emotion
break the dam and swim in the destruction
don’t believe the lies and the corruption
when you’re sinking, fast, into the ocean
lungs are filling, drowning in emotion
break the dam and swim in the destruction
don’t believe the lies and the corruption
when you’re sinking, fast, into the ocean
lungs are filling, drowning in emotion
break the dam and swim in the destruction
don’t believe the lies and the corruption
when you’re sinking, fast, into the ocean
lungs are filling, drowning in emotion
break the dam and swim in the destruction
don’t believe the lies and the corruption
[outro]
don’t let the papers get you down
they don’t speak for anyone. to prove it, look around
so don’t let the papers break you down
it’s not weak to cry, so let it out and cry
cause when you’re sinking, fast, into the ocean
lungs are filling, drowning in emotion
i’ll be here, don’t throw your spark away
so, break the dam and swim in the destruction
don’t believe the lies and the corruption
swim to shore, you’ll live another day
