"Battalions of paper-minded males
Talking commodities and sales
While at home their paper wives
And paper kids
Paper the walls to keep their gut reactions hid"
This lyric, and the entire verse even, is just so evocative. The last line always makes me laugh out loud. I wonder whether she intended the double-entendre that is implied by the context of "gut reactions"? Knowing Joni, I doubt any potential angle went over her head!
