Thread Name: Lyr Add: Two Paper Town (S Bomar & S Seskin)
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Two Paper Town
Reads like a pretty good song. I haven't come across it before. Here are the words from http://www.steveseskin.com/lyrics/twopaper_frame.php#twopaper - pretty well the same as you posted.

I remember when this was a two paper town
A big company came in and shut one of them down
Now all that we get is one point of view
And it don't really matter which side you're on
Nobody wins when our choices are gone
Both sides of a story often lead to the truth

Well maybe I'm crazy maybe it's no big deal
It's just my opinion it's just how I feel

I dream of a world that's not all the same
Where freedom is more than a word that we say
Where you say what you think and no one would dare put you down
I dream of a world that's a two paper town

I used to eat lunch at a small sandwich shop
Now there's a neon chain across that parking lot
They said we could have it our way so that's what we did
There's a superstore out by the interstate
I get my shirts and my tires and my eggs in one place
I guess it's convenient it is what it is

We save a few dollars but what is the cost
If they don't know your name seems like something is lost

I dream of a world that's not all the same
Where a man with a vision can still find a way
Where the little guy says to the big boys you can't shut me down
I dream of a world that's a two paper town

Somewhere in the third world a man drinks the same soda as me
Funny we're further than ever from mankind living in peace

I dream of a world where though we're not all the same
Freedom is more than a word that we say
Where you can say what you think and no one would dare put you down
I dream of a world that's a two paper town.
