Paper Tiger Songtext
von Dolce Wang

He flexes his balls, he talks to a crowd
A self-made man, unwaveringly proud
His promises are given in earnest
They′re as good as a candle thrown into a furnace
He's bright on the outside but hollow on the inside
What looks like strength is quickly undone
Nothing like a pat on the back to stroke his ego
Watch out for this tiger who′s only made of paper


The flattery he's given freely like the air
To get you to like him in this mess of fair
When it's time for turmeric, he feels it′s due
The big friendly giant turns into a monster
Consumed with the ends of a long night′s work
Socials every night can be really hard
Pity that to tell you a hundred dollar sweatshirt
To prove you're a tiger who′s only made of paper

I'm a steel lover in the fine print pain
Of course you′re never to blame
Don't need your money, don′t need your shame
It's all she ever wanted was you to stay honest
To keep your own promise
Instead you played your game

I'm a steel lover in the fine print pain
Of course you′re never to blame
Don′t need your money, don't need your shame
It′s all she ever wanted was you to stay honest
To keep your own promise
Instead you played your game

You're only made of paper
You′re only made of
You're only made of paper
