[Intro]

Put on your war paint

[Verse 1]

You are a brick tied to me that's dragging me down

Strike a match and I'll burn you to the ground

We are the jack-o-lanterns in July

Setting fire to the sky

Here, here comes this rising tide so come on

(Put on your war paint)

Cross walks and crossed hearts and hope to dies

Silver clouds with grey linings

[Pre-Chorus]

So we can take the world back from the heart-attacked

One maniac at a time, we will take it back

You know time crawls on when you're waiting for the song to start

So dance alone to the beat of your heart

[Chorus]

Hey, young blood, doesn't it feel

Like our time is running out?

I'm gonna change you like a remix

Then I'll raise you like a phoenix

Wearing our vintage misery

No, I think it looked a little better on me

I'm gonna change you like a remix

Then I'll raise you like a phoenix

[Verse 2]

Bring home the boys and scrap, scrap metal the tanks

Get hitched, make a career out of robbing banks

Because the world is just a teller and we are wearing black masks

"You broke our spirit," says the note we pass

[Pre-Chorus]

So we can take the world back from the heart-attacked

One maniac at a time, we will take it back

You know time crawls on when you're waiting for the song to start

So dance alone to the beat of your heart

[Chorus]

Hey, young blood, doesn't it feel

Like our time is running out?

I'm gonna change you like a remix

Then I'll raise you like a phoenix

Wearing our vintage misery

No, I think it looked a little better on me

I'm gonna change you like a remix

Then I'll raise you like a phoenix

[Break]

Put on your war paint

[Bridge]

The war is won before it's begun

Release the doves, surrender love

The war is won before it's begun

Release the doves, surrender love

The war is won before it's begun

Release the doves, surrender love

(Wave the white flag, wave the white flag, huh!)

The war is won before it's begun

(Wave the white flag, wave the white flag, huh!)

Release the doves, surrender love

(Wave the white flag, wave the white flag, huh!)

[Chorus]

Hey, young blood, doesn't it feel

Like our time is running out?

I'm gonna change you like a remix

Then I'll raise you like a phoenix

Wearing our vintage misery

No, I think it looked a little better on me

I'm gonna change you like a remix

Then I'll raise you like a phoenix

Hey, young blood, doesn't it feel

Like our time is running out?

I'm gonna change you like a remix

Then I'll raise you like a phoenix

[Outro]

Put on your war paint
