lyrics

Let me tell you a story about a town
Where they build you up so they can try to knock you down
It’s a great old place, the people love you to you face
But just wait until you turn around
In this small town too many words get thrown around

Words like thread, they bend when said to fit into your plans
Friends are lost at little cost
It’s way out of your hands
Truth be told? I wish it could, but you know it probably won’t
You could stand up but you don’t
In this small town too many words get thrown around
And they don’t sound like they used to do
In this small town, too many words get thrown around

What colour are you going to paint me today?
No matter what I do or what I say, they’re going to change the whole thing anyway.
What colour are you going to paint me today?

It’s hard not to be a part, an end, a start, a player or a pawn
You can’t choose to opt out because you’ve been in it all along
Whether the story’s tall, right or wrong, or got no truth at all
It dosen’t matter once they fall
In this small town, too many words get thrown around

Why do you want to be the big fish swimming in this small pond?
Is it so you can shake that magic wand
that tricked a million people into thinking that you’re some kind of god?
In this small town too many words get thrown around
And they don’t sound like they used to do
In this small town, too many words get thrown around

What colour are you going to paint me today?
No matter what I do or what I say, they’re going to change the whole thing anyway.
What colour are you going to paint me today?
