Keep your warpaint on The locusts have come Keep your warpaint on The rats fight for the crumbs Keep your warpaint on Oh we cook here in the sun Keep your warpaint on Hey, hey Keep your warpaint on While your husbands pretend That it'll be alright The message fails to send When the rains don't come When the levee breaks again Keep your warpaint on Keep your warpaint on Hey I know November broke your heart 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) Oh no (No mercy in a man, no mercy in a man's world) Oh no Keep your warpaint on The streetlights all burned out I've seen a shining sea Smell of sulfur in the clouds You got your keys between your fingers As if you have a choice Keep your keys between your fingers Your mother's blood in your voice Hey I know November broke your heart 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) Oh no In a man's world (No mercy in a man, no mercy in a man's world) Oh no (No mercy in a man, no mercy in a man's world) Oh no (No mercy in a man, no mercy in a man's world) Oh no
