[Verse 1: ChArlie]
Ahem
Excuse me
King of origami
Can you tell me a story
Is a paper crown now
What's defining human glory
It's getting kinda gory out
Sorry for the trouble
Let me glue a few colorful rocks to you
Fix up the wrinkles and tears
And crinkles and rips
That are flarin' up your worth
And sorry for the time
That it takes to make and fold you
Perfectly
When I only end up ripping you
Sadly
Didn't know people would gawk and stare
At a man with a paper crown on top of his head
Simply saying, sorry not sorry
But sorry for my hate and hits
I know how it feels to be on the ground
Covered in dirt
Knowing you're better than a drunk rap verse
But so many people want to wear you proud
So I take you down, that's what I said
Saying if I put you on top of my head
Everyone's faces would start to turn red
Steam blowin' from their ears
Like you see in cartoons
The love they gave you
Now they trying to k** you
Me
The game
The race
The end of the world
The world that people never see
The things that cause them not to worry
It's different now
They wanted to be filled with political power
Now they want fame and money
That's all I see
'cause they broken
Sitting there joking
They giving to communities
Like it ain't a thing
If you listen closely
Hear the bells ring
Choirs of crowds
Hear them sing
But wait
It seems we all forgot our lines
Forgot our rhymes
Or worse
It seems we all lost our sight
[Pre-Chorus: Haley Meehan]
Where has the love gone
I'm sitting all alone
Staring at an empty throne
When the love gave out
Paper became the king
Money money paper
Why won't you burn
[Chorus: Haley Meehan]
Everybody wears their paper crowns
They wear them proud on their heads
Everybody wants a paper crown
At least one before they're dead
And though we all are fighting on
The crown is far too wrong
Whats all the insanity, oh
What happened to humanity
Everybody wants to wear their paper crowns
Proud and loud on top of their heads
[Verse 2: ChArlie]
Now lets pretend that everybody got what they wanted, nobody's advice, bands, cars, and ice
Now lets imagine everybody was getting along
And there was nothing ever wrong with the world
But too bad 'cause the world was gone
It was burned to the ground
Set up in flames
Man, every single town
The toys that everybody got
All made of fools gold
Paper, plastic
Ain't that fantastic
Now we only blaming each other
'cause the only time we ever wanna hear the word, NO
Is when its coming from your mouth
Do you really think your never wrong
It's everybody else's fault
'cause you want what they got
They get want they want
And what they want you can't have
And everybody's screaming loud for one more chance
But its the end of the dance
And as time flew by
I waved goodbye
And sat real high
Off of the medicine your s**ing down
To forget bad memories spinning around
Hoping to find an answer at the bottom of the bottle
'cause its all you see
Doesn't matter what else is falling down
You walk from your corner to corner
Up, down, north, west, east, and south
If that's what it takes to bring you a crown
You'd walk the world with me
No tree will stand in the way of thee
Think a little harder now
Who you think you're gonna knock down
See there's nothing holding you back
But the crowd ain't cheering
Ain't making no sound
No wonder people asking
Who what why and how
[Pre-Chorus: Haley Meehan]
Where has the love gone
I'm sitting all alone
Staring at an empty throne
When the love gave out
Paper became the king
Money money paper
Why won't you burn
[Chorus: Haley Meehan]
Everybody wears their paper crowns
They wear them proud on their heads
Everybody wants a paper crown
At least one before they're dead
And though we all are fighting on
The crown is far too wrong
Whats all the insanity, oh
What happened to humanity
Everybody wants to wear their paper crowns
Proud and loud on top of their heads
[Bridge: Haley Meehan]
Keep on fighting, until you find your strength
Keep on colliding, until you find your breath
Keep on shouting, until they hear your voice
I don't need a crown of paper, I just need to make some noise
