Painted Smiling Face

[Verse 1]
Burning tree, blackened sky
This land godforsaken
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

[Chorus]
Painted smiling face
Pockets filled, lust fulfilled
The butchered know no mercy
Painted smiling face

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
Painted smiling face
It's clear, the end is near
This path leads to nowhere
Painted smiling face

[Bridge]
Yeah, I see you
See right through you
And I hear you
But your words will never ring true

[Outro]
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
