Shaking Paper
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Hold the gun
Way deep down
Lookout young son
Lookout young son
A good thing is coming
Cause the good thing's coming
Big shot guns with no guns
Big shot army with no army at all
I don't know what is worse
And I can't tell what is the best
People emphasize the way of the world
And demons despize the sound of shaking paper
But guess what I found out
That you do too
