Lyrics

And when you're hanging 'round
Waiting on the other side of town
Kick a stone on a painted wall
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
And when the riot comes
Keep your head and keep your loving charm
Living life is a glamour show
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
But it's another word
It's another word
All soldiers have a cause
Giving life upon graffitied walls
As a way to pass the time
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
I saw a father's tear
For a leader standing over here
'Who's the King?' says a passer by
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
But it's another word
It's another word
Word
Word
And when you're hanging 'round
Waiting on the other side of town
Kick a stone on a painted wall
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
And when the riot comes
Keep your head and keep your loving charm
Living life is a glamour show
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
But it's another word
It's another word
Word
Word
It's another word
Word
Word
It's another...
