Paint the Town Red Songtext
von Paint the Town Red

Yeah
Uh huh
Yeah you said
I′d be free, I'd be free, I′d be free

You said paint the town red and I'd be free
Look around me, streets plagued with mutiny
Gun shots only help if you crumbling the communities
Government break it further, we're losing all of our unity
You said paint the town red, look where it got us
Choking from society, I′m feeling like a hostage
Everything gone wrong and I′m running low on my options
Keep trying to scrape ahead, but guess I'm trapped right at the bottom
Life′s pumped full of moments with decisions and choices
Everyone keeps talking but don't mean we use our voices
But even in the moments where society is voiceless
That doesn′t mean that the world is jumping up and rejoicing


Is it the answer to paint the town red?
I don't know what options I have instead
Is it the answer to paint the town red?
It′s hard to think when the future is what I dread

Yeah, we gotta paint the town red now
People flying upstairs ya in they damn clouds
Guess they're free but I'm still not
I′m a little jealous of the peace of mind they got
Some days life just feels like a dream
Other days a nightmare cold hearted and too obscene
Automated lives are we turning into machines?
People mindless dummies - pawns and figurines
But you know what I guess that′s just how it be
People coming in and out our lives and it stings
Everyday there's praying but what all we believe
Slaving to society, no one′s ever free


Ya, you know that's the truth
Corruption starting young, embedded in our roots
Government protected, society abused
People look for anything to find a way to soothe
Our culture′s cavin' in we feel it on our shoulders
People throwin′ rocks while others keep pushin' boulders
Kept saying that things will get better when you turn older
But it's a cold world, and it′ll only get colder

Is it the answer to paint the town red?
I don′t know what options I have instead
Is it the answer to paint the town red?
It's hard to think when the future is what I dread
