I'm Just a piece of paper
Stuck under a rock
No one will ever see me
But they'll all feel the aftershock
I'm just a piece of paper
I'm worth nothing at all
While everyone else is climbing
I'll be inclined to fall

And the big boys will say
I don't know how to play my guitar
And the few fans I have will all run away, one day
The only hit I'll know will be mediocre and played on one station
And all the song I write will be self indulgent and overdone

I'm just the shadow of a man
Lying behind him
But he will never see me cause he's too concerned with catching a tan
I'm just the shadow of a man
I'm worth nothing at all
While the rest of the world is getting taller
I will always feel small

And the big boys will say
I don't know how to play my guitar
And the few fans I have will all run away, one day
The only hit I'll know will be mediocre and played on one station
And all the song I write will be Self indulgent and overdone
