Paint By Numbers

Would you like to whisper into my ear,
What your secret is for?
Ignore and 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
(But it’s your way!)
What do I know
Of human life or what it’s worth?
(For jealousy!)
Take money from the poor
So you can go and fight a war
They once talked about a drought
But that’s just a feeling
Take money from the poor
So you can go and fight a war
They once talked about a drought
But that’s 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
