Thread Name: Lyr Add: Two Paper Town (S Bomar & S Seskin)
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Two Paper Town
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.
