A little tribute to the game Papers Please I put together. I really enjoyed how this turned out. I went for a creepy voice, thinking of the merchant guy from the beginning of the movie Aladdin.

I should also mention that the inspiration for this song came from my watching Jacksepticeye play the game.

Lyrics and voice are by myself, C.S. Gilmore.
Instruments are done by myself as well using Music Maker Jam, Music Maker, and then Audacity to combine everything and make final adjustments. I don't know how to play an instrument personally.

Here are the lyrics:

Welcome to the line my friends - spoken.

(V1).

Next in line, don't delay.
Papers please or else you'll pay.
Arstotzka, best there is, security is our biz.
You should have known, or called ahead.
That typo means you'll be dead.

(Chorus) - slight variances as song progresses.

No such thing as living wage, living in a prison state.
Few get in, fewer escape.
So pay your rent, stay alive.
Freedom's for those who have died.
Arstotzka, best there is, say otherwise you'll regret it.

(V2)

A terrorist, gun him down, security will see you now.
Smuggler friend, go on through, you help me and I'll help you.
Secret man, marked by sin. Your targets here, I'll detain him.

(Chorus)

Oh no, not again - spoken

(V3)

Here they come, the army men, questioning me again.
Watch my words, answer right.
One wrong move and it's my life.
Smuggler friend hurry back, this next day could be my last.

(Chorus)
