“Paint it Green”

I see a red box and I want it painted green
No colors anymore, I want them to turn green
I see the runtime error, written in the square
I’m just so frustrated, I have to go over there. 

I dream of boxes and they’re all painted green
With 7 out of 7 written and seen
Maybe one day I’ll get the APT first try
But it’s not easy when the deadline is nigh

I look inside myself and see my heart is green
I see my red boxes I must have painted green
Maybe then I’ll fade away an not have to face the facts
It’s not easy facing up when your whole world is green

No more will my white boxes go turn a deeper red
I will perfect this APT and not be filled with dread
If I look hard enough into the setting sun
I’ll get this APT right before midnight has come

I see a red box and I want it painted green
No colors anymore, I want them to turn green
I see the runtime errors, written in the square
I’m just so frustrated, I have to go over there. 

Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm

I wanna see it painted, painted green
Green as the cash, the cash I’ll make
I wanna see the boxes blotted out from the screen
I wanna see it painted, painted, painted green

Yeah!
 
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
