"One Little Soldier" lyrics

"One Little Soldier"
(from "Bombshell" soundtrack)

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

One little soldier
Talking to the others
One little soldier
Calling out the cowards

You've got them real long legs
Won't you tell us a story?
I can 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

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 'cause you knew I'd draw a crowd?

In the game the little soldiers get maneuveured
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

One little soldier
Talking to the others
One little soldier
Running through your tower
One little soldier
Plugging into your power
One little soldier
Calling you a coward

You've got them real long legs
Won't you tell us a story?
I can 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
You've got them real long legs
Won't you tell us a story?
I can 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
Woo!
