M.I.A. - "I Fly Like Paper, Get High Like Planes"

If you read a lot about new music on the Web, odds are pretty good that, at some point between the September 2004 release of "Galang" and the March 2005 release of Arular, you were struck with the urge to turn your computer off or maybe even heave it out of a nearby window. If you don't read a lot about new music on the Web, the preceding sentence indicates how bewildering and draining the chatter about M.I.A. became. Arular, M.I.A.'s first album, leaked well before its official release, allowing journalists and downloaders plenty of time to dissect it and bat ideas back and forth -- taking in the sounds, words, and absolutely all of the context -- before average music fans were able to develop their own opinions.

Lyrics:

"Paper Planes"

[x2]

I fly like paper, get high like planes

If you catch me at the border I got visas in my name

If you come around here, I make 'em all dayI get one down in a second if you wait

[x2]

Sometimes I think sitting on trains

Every stop I get to I'm clocking that game

Everyone's a winner now we're making that fame

Bonafide hustler making my name

[x4]

All I wanna do is (BANG BANG BANG BANG!)And (KKKAAAA CHING!)And take your money

[x2]

Pirate skulls and bones

Sticks and stones and weed and bombs

Running when we hit 'em

Lethal poison through their system

[x2]

No one on the corner has swagger like us

Hit me on my burner prepaid wireless

We pack and deliver like UPS trucks

Already going hell just pumping that gas

[x4]

All I wanna do is (BANG BANG BANG BANG!)And (KKKAAAA CHING!)And take your money

M.I.A.Third world democracyYeah, I got more records than the K.G.B.So, uh, no funny businessSome some some I some I murder

Some I some I let go

Some some some I some I murder

Some I some I let go
