Paper People

You say
That you want to be like
All these stars
That you see on your TV screen

But you don't know the truth
That the beauty you see
Is only skin deep

But you should know
That anything goes
In this land of broken things
You can sell your soul
For money and gold
But that won't make you happy

I see
All these paper people
Walking with their chins up
But I can see right through all their lies

You can change your hair
And you can change all your clothes
You can even change the way
Your face and body molds

But you don't want to be just like
All those girls you see
Cause all these paper people
Are only pretty on your screen

You've got to be tall, blonde
and hide your insecurities
cause people only like what they see in the magazines

They'll build you up
just so they can tear you apart
and laugh as you fall down

But you should know
That anything goes
In this paper town of dreams
Be the star of the show
But when the curtains close
You won't mean a thing

I see
All these paper people
Walking with their chins up
But I can see right through all their lies

You can change your hair
And you can change all your clothes
You can even change the way your face
And body molds

But you don't want to be just like
All those girls you see
Cause all these paper people
Are only pretty on your screen

So take your bows
Show's over now
This paper town
Is falling falling falling down

I see
All these paper people
Walking with their chins up
But I can see right through all their lies

You can change your hair
And you can change all your clothes
You can even change the way your face
And body molds

But you don't want to be just like
All those girls you see
Cause all these paper people
Are only pretty on your screen
