Better Paint Than You

I live in better paint than you,
My paint ain't peelin', growin' green mildew.
I live in better paint than you,
My paint ain't peelin', growin' green mildew.
I live in better paint than you.

Verse 1

And he'll reach around and get you with a heart attack.
Criticize the demons that are in your soul,
And they'll reach around and hit you with what you don't know.

My paint ain't peelin', growin' green mildew.
I live in better paint than you,
My paint ain't peelin', growin' green mildew.
I live in better paint than you.

Verse 2

Criticize the neighbor that you never knew,
And you'll find that he died 'cause he's old like you.
Criticize the phrases that you couldn't say,
And you'll find your'e gonna need 'em when you're called to pay.

Chorus

I live in better paint than you,
My paint ain't peelin', growin' green mildew.
I live in better paint than you,
My paint ain't peelin', growin' green mildew.

Verse 3

Criticize the traffic on your left and right,
And you'll find yourselves together at the traffic light.
Criticize the hippos at your local zoo,
And you'll find yourself a-waddling like a hippo, too.

Chorus 2

I drive in better paint than you,
My paint is shiny, polished up like new.
I drive in better paint than you,
My paint is shiny, polished up like new.
I drive in better paint than you.

Verse 4

Thousand dollar siding and a million dollar floor,
And you need a kitchen counter and a new front door.
Neighbor lookin' at you like you couldn't pay,
And the thing that you can brag about on judgment day,

My paint ain't peelin', growin' green mildew.
I live in better paint than you,
My paint ain't peelin', growin' green mildew.
I live in better paint than you,
My paint ain't peelin', growin' green mildew.
I live in better paint than you.
