I wrote “Paper Beats Rock” after an incident
where I chose to stand up for the little guy.
It was the right decision.

I suppose it’s a song about injustice but also about never giving up.
Even if you lose this time, you can play again and win the next.

Song: “Paper Beats Rock”
Artist: Lucas Hargis

They done you dirty, New kid on the block
Scissors beat paper, But paper beats rock
Life gives you hell, You give it right back
No heaven to gain, When the game is rigged like that

They done you dirty, Those unlucky charms
Snap ‘em in half like, Snap, crackle, pop
Life sucks you down, Like coffee from a cup
Like bread from a toaster, Pop on right back up

They done you dirty, Way down on your knees
So thirsty for lovin’, Yes, thank you & please
Life gives you lemons? Well, then make lemonade
Savor that sweet & sour, Moonshine flavor you crave

Rock beats scissors & Scissors beat paper
But you know what? Paper beats rock
Rock beats scissors & Scissors beat paper
New kid on the block, Paper beats rock                     

They done you dirty, New kid on the block
Scissors beat paper, But paper beats rock
