Don't Let the Papers Get You Down
Don't let the papers get you down
There'll be a new headline tomorrow
And all the reports you hear now
Will be forgotten all about
Ignore the outrage of the crowd
The pitchforks they hold are hollow
And just because some words are loud
Doesn't mean they are profound
And if you'd only turn the page
You'd see who's getting paid
You'd see who's making loans
And growing old
Off of your wage
Don't let the papers get you down
Don't lie awake from fear of mottos
If waving colors make you proud
There's some sins that you've allowed
But if you only knew the rage
Of the people getting played
Of those who live alone
Because a tombstone
Had to be engraved
Run from the rumors going round
That are woven by the tongues of those who
Think they've got it figured out
Then mock an ark built in a drought
And when they're banging in the rain
There'll be no one left to blame
No one left to scold
Once that door is closed
The trends are in vain
There'll be a new headline tomorrow
And all the reports you hear now
Will be forgotten all about
Ignore the outrage of the crowd
The pitchforks they hold are hollow
And just because some words are loud
Doesn't mean they are profound
And if you'd only turn the page
You'd see who's getting paid
You'd see who's making loans
And growing old
Off of your wage
Don't let the papers get you down
Don't lie awake from fear of mottos
If waving colors make you proud
There's some sins that you've allowed
But if you only knew the rage
Of the people getting played
Of those who live alone
Because a tombstone
Had to be engraved
Run from the rumors going round
That are woven by the tongues of those who
Think they've got it figured out
Then mock an ark built in a drought
And when they're banging in the rain
There'll be no one left to blame
No one left to scold
Once that door is closed
The trends are in vain
