Lyrics
Cardboard Castle c. 1993
Get up! Stand up! Strike the band up!
Why wont you sing our song?
Do this, do that. Dont forget where youre at!
Why wont you play along?
cause I got information overload, feel my head implode,
But I try to keep my pride. but there's
Pressure on the outside, stress on the inside,
markets on the downside, Where am I gonna run and hide?
Chorus
Living in a Cardboard castle, with a heart of stone.
I'm Living in a cardboard castle, no place like home.
The weak, the wild, the meek, the mild,
all threw a bash in the temple of style.
Mad Hatter hosted, Alice toasted,
she raised a glass to the pure and defiled,
(she said) Weve all got strange rules, idols, habituals,
fashions and rituals so dont panic.
Remember when your ship comes in,
make sure its not the Titanic!
Chorus
You're living in your Cardboard castle, with a heart of stone.
You're Living in a cardboard castle, no place like home.
Get up! Let up! I know youre fed up!
I can see right through your psyche.
Break up, Make up! Dont wake the snake up.
He may be smiling but hes ready to strike.
Weve all got aggressions, gods and obsessions,
We try to play the game.
But somethings amiss in the grand edifice.
Behind the walls were all the same.
Were all
(repeat chorus)
