One Little Soldier - Regina Spektor

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!
