Perfectly Painted Smoke

There is a brand new padlock on the factory gate

But the mayor says the growth is historically great

I got a second job delivering food on the side

My checking account is a source of national pride The grocery bill

is double what it was last year

But the talk show hosts are grinning ear to ear

So I smile at the sky,

there's no reason to fret

We can't stop winning,

can't you see? Everything's exactly how it's supposed to be Yeah,

the gold is shining,

the wheels are spinning No,

we can't stop winning

The clinic down the road is boarded up and dark But we

got a brand new sign in the municipal park

My brother says his tooth has been throbbing since May But the

stock market hit a record high today

And the high school roof is leaking when it rains But we're

looking forward to the future gains Yeah,

the house is burning,

but the lawn looks stunning

We can't stop winning,

can't you see? Everything's exactly how it's supposed to be

Yeah, the gold is shining,

the wheels are spinning No,

we can't stop winning

Will they look back on us years from now?

And wonder why we kept on taking our bow?

We sang our sweet songs to cover the cracks

And painted over all of the tire tracks (ohhh)

Maybe we weren't... (winning?)

We can't stop winning,

can't you see? Everything's exactly how it's supposed to be

Yeah, the gold is shining,

the wheels are spinning No,

we can't stop winning!

(we're winning!)

We can't stop winning...

We can't stop winning...

Right?
