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 time.

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              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
