Warpaint

Keep your warpaint on The locusts have come Keep your warpaint on The rats fight for the crumbs Keep your warpaint on While we cook here in the sun Keep your warpaint on Keep your warpaint on While your husbands pretend That it'll be alright But the message fails to send When the rains don't come When the levee breaks again Keep your warpaint on Keep your warpaint on I know November broke your heart The dice were loaded from the start One promise for American girls No mercy in a man's world No mercy in a man No mercy in a man's world I know No mercy in a man No mercy in a man's world I know Keep your warpaint on The street lights all burned out From sea to shining sea The smell of sulphur in the clouds You've got your keys between your fingers As if you had a choice Keep your keys between your fingers Your mother's blood in your voice I know November broke your heart The dice were loaded from the start One promise for American girls There's no mercy in a man's world No mercy in a man No mercy in a man's world I know No mercy in a man No mercy in a man's world I know No mercy in a man No mercy in a man's world I know No mercy in a man No mercy in a man's world I know
