(Ambrose/Backer)
In early days warpaint was used by the Indians to scare the enemy.
Now gangs use it out on the streets to scare everybody.
Welcome to the streets, hard, tough and mean.
Hard luck civilians and killing machines.
Where sympathy lies on the stone dead body of your friend.
Welcome to our turf. Look what’s ahead.
A living nightmare’s gonna shatter your head.
And the paint on our face proves our anger is meant.
Every night, warfare and pain, each day our colors are stained.
Lust and fear, anger and shame, faces are covered with paint.
Color your face. Color your face. Color your face.
Warpaint. Warpaint. Looking mean.
Color your face. Color your face. Color your face.
Warpaint. Warpaint. Looking mean.
Warpaint. Warpaint. Looking mean.
Warpaint. Warpaint. Look at me.
Marching through the streets, blood on our minds.
Cops hiding behind venetian blinds.
Nothing’s out on the streets but violence and hate.
Silence in the night, prepare the assault.
Fight for your life and do as you’re told.
Coz the lessons you’ve learned, will leave ‘em in a terrible state.
Every night. Warfare and pain, each day our colors are stained.
Lust and fear. Anger and shame, faces are covered with paint.
Color your face. Color your face. Color your face.
Warpaint. Warpaint. Looking mean.
Color your face. Color your face. Color your face.
Warpaint. Warpaint. Looking mean.
Warpaint. Warpaint. Looking mean.
Warpaint. Warpaint. Look at me. And fight.
Welcome to the streets, wild, rough and mean.
Dying civilians and fighting machines.
Where sympathy lies on the stone dead body of your friend.
Welcome to our turf, look who is mean.
A killing nightmare’s gonna shatter your dream.
And the paint on our face proves our anger is meant.
Every night. Warfare and pain, each day our colors are stained.
Lust and fear. Anger and shame, faces are covered with paint.
Color your face. Color your face. Color your face.
Warpaint. Warpaint. Looking mean.
Color your face. Color your face. Color your face.
Warpaint. Warpaint. Warpaint. Warpaint. Warpaint. Warpaint.
Looking mean …
Look at me.
