I use red for the mouth and blue for the eyes
I paint your hair multicolored
In yellow and purple, green and gray
I also know that's not right
But it still looks funny
I do it just the way I like it
Because I'm painting my world
I paint a car that doesn't stink
And doesn't run anybody over
A ruler who for once doesn't
I paint a tree nobody cuts down
I paint money nobody counts
And then I also paint a war
Where nobody ever dies
And love will be red
And hate black like death
I do it just the way I like it
Now you'll say that's utterly naive
And that I can't make the world just how I please
And yet I still dream
That something finally happens and to dream
And love will be red
And hate black like death
I do it just the way I like it
And love will be red
And hate black like death
I do it just the way I like it
