[Verse 1]
One day in a big ol' city an apple tree did grow
And what grew there beside it was a rose
You can hear your friends all say it there from down below
What will they say about us now?
[Chorus]
What will they say about us now?
Now that we've gone out paintin' the town
Fruit and flies and bees all buzzin', burning cities to the ground
What will they say about us now?
[Verse 2]
A baby in a stroller carriage, a car parked in the drive
A bank account all full up to retire
You can hear your family say it, over on the side
What will they say about us now?
[Chorus]
What will they say about us now?
Now that we've gone out painting the town
The tires are flat, the baby's cryin', burning cities to the ground
What will they say about us now?
[Bridge]
I don't know but I've been told
That you and I are like gas and flame
But I don't hear it ‘cause when I'm near you
You're a blazin' fire the world can't tame
Yes, you are a blazin' fire the world can't tame
[Chorus]
What will they say about us now?
Now that we've gone out painting the town
The tires are flat, the baby's cryin', burning cities to the ground
What will they say about us now?
Oh I said, what will they say about us now?
