Should we pay the toll
For every black hole?
Should we pay a fee
Incessantly, obsessively?
Should we pay to talk
As we're eating chalk?
But they can't make us pay,
No not today, no not this way

This world is made of paper
If we don't move they'll draw us smaller and smaller
This world is made of paper
If we don't move they'll draw us smaller and smaller
This world is made of paper
If we don't move they'll draw us smaller and smaller
This world is made of paper
If we don't move they'll draw us smaller and smaller

Should we pay them back
For every heart attack?
Or should we wait and see
Depressingly, in a minor key?
Should we pay up front?
Should we be so blunt?
I bet our check will bounce
And drop in weight, with every ounce

This world is made of paper
If we don't move they'll draw us smaller and smaller
This world is made of paper
If we don't move they'll draw us smaller and smaller
This world is made of paper
If we don't move they'll draw us smaller and smaller
This world is made of paper
If we don't move they'll draw us smaller and smaller
