Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Did you think you'd get to run the world forever?
Little soldiers fighting loyal by your side
That you'd get to play the role of grand commander
Never questioning your motives or your pride
[Verse 2]
One little soldier talking to the others
One little soldier calling out the cowards
[Verse 3]
You've got them real long legs
Won't you tell us a story?
I could listen to you dance all day
You've got them real long legs
Won't you tell us a story?
Doesn't even matter what you say
[Verse 4]
Did you want me as your whore or your Madonna?
Did you want me to stay quiet or get loud?
Did you want me in bright lights or in your shadow?
Did you want me 'cause you knew I'd draw a crowd?
[Verse 5]
In the game the little soldiers get maneuvered
If you lose a few you easily move on
Bet you never thought your soldiers could undo ya now, did you?
But to tip the score it sometimes takes just one
[Verse 6]
One little soldier talking to the others
One little soldier talking to the others
One little soldier plugging into your power
One little soldier calling you a coward
[Verse 7]
You've got them real long legs
Won't you tell us a story?
I could listen to you dance all day
You've got them real long legs
Won't you tell us a story?
Doesn't even matter what you say
[Verse 8]
You've got them real long legs
Won't you tell us a story?
I could listen to you dance all day
You've got them real long legs
Won't you tell us a story?
Doesn't matter if it's wrong or right
