Paint By Numbers Lyrics
Would you like to whisper into my ear,
What your secret is for
Ignoring fear.
'Cause it comes so easily
To you and I don't understand
The frame of thought,
The schools you taught
To throw away.
But still I say
Invent your own
Painting by numbers if you must
(Run it your way!)
What do I know
Of human life or what it's worth?
(Fragility!)
Take money from the poor
So you can go and fight a war
They once talked about a draft
But that was just a feeling
Take money from the poor
So you can go and fight a war
They once talked about a draft
But that was just a feeling
Everyone has gone astray
And I hope you love them too
And with your gun they'll run away
To prove they'll take the dues
What your secret is for
Ignoring fear.
'Cause it comes so easily
To you and I don't understand
The frame of thought,
The schools you taught
To throw away.
But still I say
Painting by numbers if you must
(Run it your way!)
What do I know
Of human life or what it's worth?
(Fragility!)
So you can go and fight a war
They once talked about a draft
But that was just a feeling
So you can go and fight a war
They once talked about a draft
But that was just a feeling
And I hope you love them too
And with your gun they'll run away
To prove they'll take the dues
