Paint On It

I watch some squirrels in the yard
They notice me right away
They look suspicious all the time
A squirrel's life seems okay
Saw a fearless beetle cross the street
Didn't give a damn about my feet
Armor like a silver dollar
But it don't stand a chance in the gutter

Are you tired of your bed
Paint on it
Or swimming in the red
Paint on it
Tired of your hair
The hair that you wear
Paint on it
A classic work of art
Paint on it
Crazy wheel shopping cart
Paint on it
Don't you burn this down
Don't you burn this town
Paint it to the ground

I used to catch frogs with my cousins
Splash around in soda fountains
That's not my life anymore
Oh but I'm grateful all the more
So what's this song about
Images are loud
Life is full of mystery
Paint on our history

All the bathroom stalls
Paint on it
Empty shops in dead malls
Paint on it
If you want to paint your lips
Shipyard paint the ships
Paint on it
I like the look of neon
Paint on it
Can you imagine the great beyond
Paint on it
Yeah don't you burn it down
Don't you burn this town
Paint it to the ground
Oh what about the battlements
Paint on it
Or the slum old apartments
Paint on it
Dominion Energy conduit
Paint on it
Civil war monument
Paint on it
Stickers on the parking meters
Paint on it
Yeah we've been lied to by our leaders
Paint on it
Now don't you burn it down
Don't you burn this town
Paint it to the
Yeah now don't you burn this town
Don't you burn this town
Paint it to the ground
