Painted Soldiers
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.
That's all you're singing now?
Woohoo hoo, woohoo hoo, woohoo hoo, woohoo hoo woohoo hoo, woohoo hoo, woohoo hoo, woohoo hoo
Why'd you have to say those things
About my face, about my name?
I didn't want things to end this way
I didn't want things to end this way
All my soldiers are painted
And i'm one of them
But i'm still dedicated
And i feel...
Woohoo hoo, woohoo hoo, woohoo hoo, woohoo hoo
Why'd you have to say those things
About my faults, about my sting?
I didn't want things to end this way
I didn't want things to end this way.
All my soldiers are painted
And i'm one of them,
But i'm still dedicated
To seeing...
I knew he liked to talk about himself
But he wanted the whole world to know.
It made me sick inside...
I just gotta hold back.
Woohoo hoo, woohoo hoo, woohoo hoo, woohoo hoo
And if your soldiers are painted
Don't be like one of them.
But if you're still dedicated,
It's all right...
