Paper Tiger Lyrics

Cover art for Paper Tiger lyrics by Spoon

i know that the term "paper tiger" is used to describe something that appears powerful but is as substantial as, say, paper. i love the line "i will no longer do the devil's wishes/something i read on a dollar bill" referring to the phrase "in god we trust". to be honest i'm not really sure what this song means but its amazing and the word play is very clever.
