Papers That's all I hear Throughout the day It's unending When I reach here So I remain isolated And in my head the insults The abuse resound I am a foreigner They insult me, are aggressive In my head despair Point the finger of scorn at me I am trapped like a deer My dreams disintegrate I never imagined it I believed I would lead a good life
I believed those guidebooks I had read about it in books Glossy magazines They had deceived me Now my eyes are opened It was nothing but a nightmare The land of wonders Was only a nasty story

Papers
That's all I hear
Throughout the day
It's unending
When I reach here
So I remain isolated
And in my head the insults
The abuse resound
I am
a foreigner
They insult me, are aggressive
In my head despair
Point the finger of scorn at me
I am trapped like a deer
My dreams disintegrate
I never imagined it
I believed I would lead a good life
I believed those guidebooks
I had read about it in books
Glossy magazines
They had deceived me
Now my eyes are opened
It was nothing but a nightmare
The land of wonders
Was only a nasty story
