[Verse 1]
Could you paint a picture of the modern world?
Could you depict an image of the state of things?
Could you tell a tale of a tale untold
Illustrate all the dirty truths?
Life it brings you up, then it puts you down
Life it brings you up, then it puts you down
You just piss it up the wall
(Piss it up the wall)
I bet it makes you feel so small

[Chorus]
Paint a picture of the modern world
Put the pieces back together
Paint a picture of the modern world
Put the pieces back together

[Verse 2]
Say that peace and war is a fragile game
You love it and you hate it just the same
I just wanna hear your point of view
I just wanna hear your point of view
Could you right my wrongs?
Could you set the tone?
Could you make a better man of me?
Could you face the hypocrisy?
[Chorus]
Paint a picture of the modern world
Put the pieces back together
Paint a picture of the modern world
Put the pieces back together

[Bridge]
When I'm all alone
I chew myself to the bone
When I'm all alone
I chew myself to the bone
When I'm all alone
I chew myself to the bone
When I'm all alone
I chew myself to the bone

[Chorus]
Paint a picture of the modern world
Put the pieces back together
Paint a picture of the modern world
Put the pieces back together

[Outro]
Paint a picture of the modern world
Put the pieces back together
Paint a picture of the modern world
Put the pieces back together
