Lyrics
One Little Soldier
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.
Did you think you'd get to run the world forever?
Little soldiers fighting loyal by your side
That you’d get to play the role of grand commander?
Never questioning your motives or your pride
One little soldier
Talking to the others
One little soldier
Calling out the cowards
You've got them real long legs
Won't you tell us a story?
I could listen to you dance all day
You’ve got them real long legs
Won't you tell us a story?
Doesn't even matter what you say
Did you want me as your whore or your Madonna?
Did you want me to stay quiet or get loud?
Did you want me in bright lights or in your shadow?
Did you want me 'cause you knew I'd draw a crowd?
In the game the little soldiers get maneuvered
If you lose a few, you easily move on
Bet you never thought your soldiers could undo ya, now did you?
But to tip the score it sometimes takes just one
One little soldier
Talking to the others
One little soldier
Running through your tower
One little soldier
Plugging into your power
One little soldier
Calling you a coward
You've got them real long legs
Won't you tell us a story?
I could listen to you dance all day
You've got them real long legs
Won’t you tell us a story?
Doesn’t even matter what you say
You've got them real long legs
Won’t you tell us a story?
I could listen to you dance all day
You've got them real long legs
Won't you tell us a story?
Doesn't matter if it’s wrong or right
Woo!
