Warpaint - Dave Hause

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 our husbands pretend that

It’ll be alright

But then 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
