Lyrics
But It's Another Word
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
And when you're hanging 'round
Waiting on the other side of town
Kick a stone on a painted wall
And when the riot comes keep your head
And keep your loving charm
Living life is a glamour show
But it's another word
All soldiers have a cause
Giving life upon graffitied walls
As a way to pass the time
I saw a father's tear
For a leader standing over here
'Who's the King?' says a passer by
But it's another word
