Coldplay - Famous Old Painters Lyrics

When you were born
You were given a name
Down from your father
His was the same
Your history is marked and your future arranged
Ready they’ll tell you that nothing’ll change

The world's gonna end and the news is all bad
Baby, that's lies, you just learned from your dad
They send you from school and they push you around
Baby, don't let them just button you
I'm not gonna let them just button you down

'Cus I'm up on the rooftop
Painting you roses
Screaming your name out
And hoping you'll notice
I'm hoping you'll notice what my name is
And I could be just like
Those famous old painters

Your grandfather told you you're not gonna win
Your grandpa's a racist, don't listen to him
You're not gonna end up in that kind of shame
'Cus one day I promise we're going to
One day I promise we're gonna escape

'Cus I'm up on the rooftop
Painting you roses
Screaming your name out
And hoping you'll notice
I'm hoping you'll know what my name is
And we could be just like
Those famous old painters

How many times have you written your name?
Hoping to lie, really destiny changed
Don't wanna die, or be naked and nameless
Starting from nowhere and aiming for greatness
