One Less Bell to Answer

Twenty houses is in a row
Eighty people watch a TV show
Paper people, cardboard dreams
How unreal the whole thing seems

Can we be living in a world made of paper maché?
Everything is clean and so neat
Anything that’s wrong can be [Am]just swept away
Spray it with cologne and [Bm]the whole world smells sweet

Ice cream cones and [Bm]candy bars
Swings and [Bm]things like [F]bicycles and [Bm]cars
There’s a sale on [C7]happiness
You buy two and [Bm]it costs less

Can we be [Am]living in a world made of paper maché?
Everything is clean and [Bm]so neat
Anything that’s wrong [Am]can be [Am]just swept away
Spray it with cologne and [Bm]the whole world smells sweet

Read the papers, keep aware
While you’re lounging in your leather chair
And if things don’t look so good
Shake your head and [Bm]knock on [C7]wood

Can we be [Am]living in a world made of paper maché?
Everything is clean and [Bm]so neat
Anything that’s wrong [Am]can be [Am]just swept away
Spray it with cologne and [Bm]the whole world smells sweet
Like paper maché
