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, hey, hey
Keep your warpaint on while your husband pretends
That it'll be alright, the message fails to send
When the rains don't come, when the levee breaks again
Keep your warpaint on, keep your warpaint on, hey
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 streetlights 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, hey
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, 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)
