Nail Polish

Going out’s like a war zone

I hope everybody comes home

You never know which neighbor’s gonna turn on you

You can’t judge em by a flag ‘cause if you do

Oh, it’s the pot and the kettle black

What’s the difference when the attack is at your door

And your body is your one defense

You gotta draw away the fire from your friends

And it’s just so easy to see

When you look at me

Oh, I can read that energy

And your secret’s written on your face

And all it takes is a little bit of nail polish

So I’m a worst-case futurist

Whether language or with a fist

I always say the best threats self-identify

When you know a trick that always draws the eye

And, it’s just so easy to see

When you look at me

Oh, I can read that energy

And your secret’s written on your face

And all it takes is a little bit of nail polish

And like a prize fight

You try and win it in the ring, oh

You could wind up dead

‘Cause any ally or decent father knows

You know you gotta plan ahead

And be brave and pick a shade

And always be the first one through the door

Oh, it’s just so easy to see

When you look at me

Oh, I can read that energy

(Your secret’s out)

Oh, it’s just so easy to see

When you look at me

Oh, I can read that energy

(You’re not safe, now)

Oh, it’s just so easy to see

When you look at me

Oh, I can feel that energy

And your secret’s written on your face

And all it takes is a little bit of nail polish
