Twenty houses in a row: |
|
Eighty people watch a TV show. |
|
Paper people, cardboard dreams, |
|
how unreal the whole world seems... |
|
Can we be living in a world made of paper mache? |
|
Everything is clean and so neat. |
|
Anything that's wrong can be just swept away. |
|
Spray it with cologne, and the whole world smells sweet. |
|
Ice cream cones and candy bars, |
|
swings, and things like bicycles and cars... |
|
There's a sale on happiness: |
|
You buy two, and it costs less. |
|
Can we be living in a world made of paper mache? |
|
Everything is clean and so neat. |
|
Anything that's wrong can be just swept away. |
|
Spray it with cologne, and the whole world smells sweet. |
|
Read the papers.Keep aware |
|
while you're lounging in your leather chair. |
|
And if things don't look so good, |
|
shake your head and knock on wood. |
|
Can we be living in a world made of paper mache? |
|
Everything is clean and so neat. |
|
Anything that's wrong can be just swept away. |
|
Spray it with cologne, and the whole world smells sweet, |
|
like paper mache. |
