War Paint (Letra)

Curso de Violão - Fórmula Violão

Face to face, but miles away
Building trenches out of empty spaces
Lay here, next to me
And close the distance in between

I’ll take off yours if you take off mine
Reveal the things that we’re tryna hide
Take off yours if you take off mine
Take off mine

Cause we could be beautiful with our war paint
Our war paint
And we could have it all
once we let our walls break
Our walls break
Why in the hell do we fight on the front line?
When we both know that we’re here on the same side
We could be beautiful without the mistake
Of our war paint

Scar to scar, I wanna know
Every story that you never told
Don’t shut me out, don’t think too much
Don’t keep that barricade up

I’ll take off yours if you take off mine
Reveal the things that we’re tryna hide
Take off yours if you take off mine
Take off mine

Cause we could be beautiful with our war paint
Our war paint
And we could have it all
once we let our walls break
Our walls break
Why in the hell do we fight on the front line?
When we both know that we’re here on the same side
We could be beautiful without the mistake
Of our war paint

So hold me close and kiss my skin
Don’t be afraid, let me in
I’ll hold you close and take your hand
To my heart, here I am

Cause we could be beautiful with our war paint
Our war paint
And we could have it all
once we let our walls break
Our walls break
Why in the hell do we fight on the front line?
When we both know that we’re here on the same side
We could be beautiful without the mistake
Of our war paint

Cause we could be beautiful with our war paint
Our war paint
And we could have it all
once we let our walls break
Our walls break
Why in the hell do we fight on the front line?
When we both know that we’re here on the same side
We could be beautiful without the mistake
Of our war paint

War Paint (Letra)

Curso de Violão - Fórmula Violão

Words by neil peart, music by geddy lee and alex lifeson

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 battlecries

All puffed up with vanity
We see what we want to see
To the beautiful and the wise
The mirror always lies

Boy before the mirror
Checks his camoflauge
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 battlecries

All puffed up with vanity
We see what we want to see
To the powerful and the wise
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

War Paint (Letra)

My people – it’s like a motion picture
Ya push it and push it
You’re pushed into believing

My people – were pushed into extinction
Push over move over
Your place in time is over

Liar liar
Learning from the book of lies
Keeps you feeling good and blind
Liar liar
And if you want the only truth
It’s buried under foot

Put on your war paint
Cause here they come to claim your home
And claim your mother earth
Put on your war paint
Cause here they come to change your god
And crush your own beliefs

Columbus – our favorite nations hero
He torchered and murdered
The people that once saved him

Columbus – went home his countries failure
In shackles a criminal
And yet we celebrate him

Thanksgiving – a touching celebration
Share everything with you
Before we have to kill you

Liar liar
Cause history is his story
It’s buried underfoot

Put on your war paint
Cause here they come to claim your home
And claim your mother earth
Put on your war paint
Cause here they come to change your god
And crush your own beliefs
Put on your war paint
Cause here they come to spread their lies
And leave you with disease

War Paint (Letra)

Curso de Violão - Fórmula Violão

I’ve still got passion, and I’ve still got guts.
But I no longer give a fuck about what you want.
You say I’m a savior and a saint?
Then let’s stop pretending and pull out the war paint.
Or do you refuse to open old wounds,
In fear that you’ll actually have to feel?

We try so hard. We try to just pretend
That things didn’t change as the honeymoon set.
This house, this ring, the secrets shared in bed
Were built on the faith in the foundation.
And I feel the bend…

The fucking more I see who you’ve become
The more I lose sight of the love
That I once had in your brown eyes.
I used to be afraid that this would end,
Now I embrace it.
We are ships passing through the night.
