lyrics

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 it 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
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

On the bathroom stall? 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
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
Don't you burn it down
Don't you burn this town
Paint it to the
Don't you burn it down
Don't you burn this town
Paint it to the ground

Paint On It recommends:

"Leave It"
by George

My favorite garage rock album I've heard in a long while. Sweet, funny, and fun vibes, even when it makes me want to wallop a punching bag with Kavanaugh's face taped to it. Paint On It

Breaking Skin
by RIKKI RAKKI

Deep and thrilling songs. The rockers make me want to thrash, and the ballads make me want to cry. It's all the more impressive this record is self-produced and self-mixed. This band rules. Paint On It

Don’t Stab Your Hand
by Knifing Around

Dance noise post-punk of the highest caliber. Sharp songwriting and production. Great live band too. Paint On It
