Paint by Numbers Songtext
von Maverick

Hey, buddy, come on
Come and take a walk with me
Have a look around
(What should I see?)
Let me just take a minute
To show you what is right
I know you don′t believe it
But, man, you're gonna see the light!
See them all around you?
Conveyor belt-style, dressed so nice (All the same?)
Oh, yeah! (Paint by numbers?)
I know it sounds so crazy
But trust me, man, it feels so right!
Act like this! (Oh no)
Think like this! (Like what?)
Dress like this and it′ll be alright!
Talk like this! (Oh no)
Smile like this! (This way)
Why be yourself when you can be just like everybody else?
Paint by numbers!


C-c-c-c-cmon now mister frown-face
Turn that upside down
There ain't no shame, no
I'd rather swim than drown
And if I just take a minute
To talk you round, you might... (What?)
Might grow to like it
Be content for life
See them all around you?
Conveyor belt-style, dressed so nice! (All the same?)
Oh, yeah! (Paint by numbers?)
I know it sounds so crazy
But trust me, man, it feels so right!
Act like this! (Oh no)
Think like this! (Like what?)
Dress like this and it′ll be alright!
Talk like this! (Oh no)
Smile like this! (This way)
Why be yourself when you can be just like everybody else?
Paint by numbers!
Let me get this straight
I gotta walk, talk
Act like all these sheep and with a smile, yeah?
I hope it′s not too late
Only got one life to lead
And lead I'd rather do than follow blindly
Service with a smile? Well, boy, it′s finally time to smile!

Act like this! (Oh no)
Think like this! (Like what?)
Dress like this and it'll be alright!
Talk like this! (Oh no)
Smile like this! (This way)
Dress like this and it′ll be alright!
Talk like this! (Oh no)
Smile like this! (Like what?)
Dress like this and it'll be alright!
Talk like this! (Oh no)
Smile like this! (This way)
Why be yourself when you can be just like everybody else?
