lyrics

August ended in another heat wave
Just as everyone was ready for release
They say there’s a wiggle in the northern jet stream
And we’re gonna have another month of grief

You see the sunrise as a star pretending to be a social climber
Well how’s that working out for you today
Sometimes you stand too close to the fire
And you just can’t move away

And the hills are the color of a
Bad painting
And the sky is the color of a
Bad painting
And the fields are the color of a
Bad painting
And the barn is the color of a
Bad painting

Manifestos, they don’t serve nobody
Except the businessmen who are holding all the rights
And all your followers who need connection
All their attention will never last through the night

You say you are some kind of hot-shot social climber
Well how’s that working out for you today
Sometimes you stand too close to your fire
And you just can’t move away

And the streets are the color of a
Bad painting
And the sky is the color of a
Bad painting
And the buildings are the color of a
Bad painting
Maybe it’s time you move along

Here’s the truth
It’s hard to remember
What it was like
Back in the day
Before you came around
Like a bat out of hell
Stuck in a house full of bad intentions
If we open up all the windows and doors
Won't you just fly away

Well we finally found you
There’s nowhere left to hide
All your true colors are bleeding through
You’ve taken us all for a ride

You were one hell of a social climber
Well how’s that working out for you today
Well now you’re standing in the fire
And you just can’t move away

And your skin is the color of a
Bad painting
And your grin is the color of a
Bad painting
And your hair is the color of a
Bad painting
And your stare is the color of a
Bad painting
And your eyes are the color of a
Bad painting
And your lies are the color of a
Bad painting
And your legacy is the color of a
Bad painting
And your bigotry is the color of a
Bad painting
And your compound is the color of a
Bad painting
And your money is the color of a
Bad painting
And your mother is the color of a
Bad painting
And your father is the color of a
Bad painting
And your lover is the color or a
Bad painting
And your children are the color of a
Bad painting
And your face is the color of a
Bad painting
And your disgrace is the color of a
Bad painting.
