War Paint (2013 Remaster)

Girl before the mirror Appraises her disguise Child become a mother Tries to fix her eyes No more of his excuses It has to be today She can keep her fantasy If she can get away Paint her name on a one-way street Painted cheeks with angry heat Wounded pride on painted eyes Paint the night with battle cries All puffed up with vanity We see what we want to see To the beautiful and the wise The mirror always lies The mirror always lies Boy before the mirror Checks his camouflage Polishes his armor And the charger in the garage No more lame excuses It has to be tonight He can take the princess If he can take the fight Pound the drums with martial beat Pound the streets with marching feet Wounded pride, distorted eyes Paint the night with battle cries All puffed up with vanity We see what we want to see To the powerful and the wise The mirror always lies The mirror always lies Boys and girls together Mistake conceit for pride Ambition for illusion Dreams for self-delusion Girls and boys together See what it is we lack Boys and girls together Let's paint the mirror black Paint it black All puffed up with vanity We see what we want to see To the beautiful and the wise The mirror always lies The mirror always lies The mirror always lies Boys and girls together Paint the mirror black The mirror always lies Girls and boys together Paint the mirror black The mirror always lies Boys and girls together Paint the mirror black The mirror always lies Girls and boys together Paint the mirror black The mirror always lies Boys and girls together Paint the mirror black The mirror always lies Girls and boys together Paint the mirror black The mirror always lies Boys and girls together Paint the mirror black The mirror always lies Girls and boys together...
