Paper And Iron (Notes And Coins) by XTC
Lyrics & Translation
English
Paper, iron, won't buy Eden
working for paper and for iron
work for the right to keep my tie on
working for paper and for iron
work for the unicorn and lion
I pray the kids aren't starving
no chicken for the Sunday carving
I'll stay for one more farthing
I take home my notes and coins every week
I'm told I'm worth much more
but the Church says turn the other cheek
the other cheek
paper, iron, won't buy Eden.
I know the family needs me
can't moan, the factory feeds me
won't bite the hand that bleeds me
I take home my notes and coins every week
I'll inherit the earth I'm told
but the Church says to remain this meek
remain this meek
I'm still a proud man.
Won't show anybody else my wage
a blend in the crowd man
is this anybody's golden age
is this anybody's golden age
is this anybody's golden age
or am I dreaming of a golden cage
La la lo it's paper
la la lo it's iron
la la lo just paper
la la lo just iron

Paper And Iron (Notes And Coins) (traducción LyricVerse Team)
Papel, hierro, no comprarán el Edén
trabajando por papel y por hierro
trabajo por el derecho a mantener mi corbata puesta
trabajando por papel y por hierro
trabajo para el unicornio y el león
Rezo para que los niños no se mueran de hambre
no hay pollo para el asado del domingo
Me quedaré por un cuarto más
Me llevo a casa mis billetes y monedas cada semana
Me dicen que valgo mucho más
pero la Iglesia dice que pongas la otra mejilla
la otra mejilla
Papel, hierro, no comprarán el Edén.
Sé que la familia me necesita
no puedo quejarme, la fábrica me alimenta
no morderé la mano que me desangra
Me llevo a casa mis billetes y monedas cada semana
Heredaré la tierra, me dicen
pero la Iglesia dice que permanezca manso
permanecer manso
Sigo siendo un hombre orgulloso.
No le mostraré a nadie más mi salario
un hombre que se mezcla entre la multitud
¿Es esta la edad de oro de alguien?
¿Es esta la edad de oro de alguien?
¿Es esta la edad de oro de alguien?
¿O estoy soñando con una jaula dorada?
La la lo es papel
la la lo es hierro
la la lo solo papel
la la lo solo hierro
