Planning: Lyrics

These are the lyrics to the song 'Paperplanes' by M.I.A.

[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 day
I 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, we're making our fame
Bona fide 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 for the 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 democracy
Yeah, I got more records than the K.G.B.
So, uh, no funny business

Some 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

[x4]
All I wanna do is (BANG BANG BANG BANG!)
And (KKKAAAA CHING!)
And take your money


We have decided to make our music video Disjuncture; the music video will not match the lyrics because it will give us a chance to have a wide variety of shots rather than if we attempted to make an illustrative or Amplification music video our creativity would be restricted as we would be trying to stick very tightly to the music video. Aleksandra already knows all the words to the song and we'd like to film a couple of base tracks at at least three different locations; we want to make the music video fun and play about with location, mise en scene and camera angles and shots and see what looks the best.
