Corrosion of Conformity - Painted Smiling Face

Burning tree, blackened sky - this land God forsaken A thousand men prepare to die - their spirit Long been broken In misery, hear their cry - mouths hang wide open Flashing steel, hot lead - the white man has spoken Painted smiling face Pockets filled, lust fulfilled - the butchered Know no mercy Painted smiling face Blind eyes, closed hearts - they do not remember Brutal past from the start - no justice now forever Humankind is but a part yet they find no answer Harmony is the art these men refuse to master Painted smiling face It's clear, the end is near - this path leads to nowhere Painted smiling face Yeah, I see you See right through you And I hear you But your words will never ring true My mind is clearer now At last I can see all too well Deceiving shades are wearing thin Humankind prefers living in hell Painted smiling face
