Paint It Pink

Paint the white house pink
Keep it legal to think
Everybody's got the right
To live our own life

Might be that you wanna be a New York slut
Hollywood pimp
Miami Beach jiggalo
Seen ya on the boulevard
Prancin' around
Braggin about the good times you found
I don't care if ya drink coca-cola
Get fat or drive a Toyota Corola
Everybody's gotta have
Som'n ta get in ta
Whether in the ghetto or
En la hacienda
Deep in the jungle or in the inner city
Somebody will be the entertainment committee
So worship the devil, Allah or Elegua
Smoke a cigar or do tons of yoga
Paint brushed, rollers
And ten thousand gallons of ink
Paint the white house pink

Why does paper money have to be dull green
With pictures of presidents and old stone buildings?
Why not a spectrum of occupations
Root cultures and orientations?
Why do inter-states have to be black beasts
That devour by the hour with aluminum teeth?
We could make it automated, it could pull us along
Houston to Cleveland, Maine to Tucson?
People try to label me an idealist when
I don't even know what perfection is
Just another fool manifesting a wish list
Full of ideals that I can't resist
Paint the white house pink

Hypnotize the leaders of the new regime
Help 'em realize the Martin Luther King dream
Unchain the unconscious brain
When they come out, watch 'em rise up sane
I have seen the future and it looks like rainbow
Cupid took an arrow, sunk it into my vein so
Fell in love with mother earth and keep fallin
Deep and deeper; consider it a calling

Take it home and keep it going
We can be the people that can keep it going

It's good, it's good
It's gettin' better all the time
