Paint It Black - Labor Day

Paint It Black - Memorial Day

Paint It Black - New Folk Song

If I had a hammer, it would probably by covered in rust. I've got a broom and a dustpan, but they're covered in dust. I tried to fill the cracks. But they're everywhere in this town. This place is haunted and I'm gonna...

Paint It Black - Panic

I checked the pilot lights and double-checked all the locks. But the captain's asleep at the wheel. We're heading straight for the rocks. I've got the anxiety blocked. Nose to the grindstone, both eyes on the clock...

Paint It Black - Past Tense Future Perfect

It's got nothing to do with luck, & it's got nothing to do with sin. You said, "God's got it in for you. You're fucked," but I don't believe in him. Standing underneath stars and satellites. The sky is not falling on...

Paint It Black - Pink Slip

I've got war on my mind all the time. A fuckin? a slave to the bottom line. Do you recognize that sound? That's your little white lie breaking down. It's coming back around Selling us shit, hand over fist, we're sitting...

Paint It Black - Saccharine

Lowered expectations met. Once were wolves, Now domesticated pets. Hijacked syntax, Footprints on our backs. I guess in retrospect We should have covered our tracks. But we see what's underneath, the empty Threat when...

So you're the fucking tin man? If you only had A heart. Your eyes are rusted shut, too caught Up in yourself to start letting down your guard, Or trying to discard your insulation. You got Fired before you could retire...

Paint It Black - Short Changed

They want to throw away the key; They don't care what the age is. They're getting rich burning books and building cages. Scared to death because they know where the rage is. My diagnosis: "fucked" - and I think it's...

Paint It Black - The Beekeeper

We are the sound and the fury. We're what's left of the hope and the glory. Foreshadowed by the dust in the ghost town, ond the rust of the factory shutdown. I've got a fistful of crumbs, and a mouthful of lies...

Paint It Black - The Fine Art Of Falling Apart

We hit the streets with fast beats. No surrender and no retreat. Back then, "get in the van" was our battle cry, even though half the time we couldn't see eye to eye. A lot of heart, a little luck, and just a pinch of...

Paint It Black - The Insider

In on the joke, but I can't laugh. We tried to make the grade; I guess we still can't pass. I may be white but I'm a fucking kike and I'm here to tell you where to stick that trash. I don't want the insider's smile or...

Paint It Black - The Ledge

He says he wants to get better, but first he has to get a little sicker. He holds his tongue like he holds his liquor. Too young to call it quits. Too old to settle for nostalgia, so he settles for this. Too scared to...

Paint It Black - The New Brutality

They've got an army of accountants counting matchsticks, And an arsenal of distraction tactics. They'll use our senses against us: Manipulating desire and consensus. And they'll use guns, They'll use tear gas. I can...

Paint It Black - The Phamacist

The medicine cabinet's empty, there's nothing for my head. Inside I'm made of concrete, my eyelids feel like lead. I'm feeling for pulse but it's no use. My head was screwed on tight, now it's coming loose. I've been to...
