War Heroes lyrics

Anger, he smiles,
towering in shiny metallic purple armour
Queen Jealousy, envy waits behind him
Her fiery green gown sneers at the grassy ground

Blue are the life-giving waters taken for granted,
They quietly understand
Once happy turquoise armies lay opposite ready,
But wonder why the fight is on
But they're all bold as love, yeah, they're all bold as love

I sure got the blues this morning, baby
Yeah! And I’m here to tell you about it
So you might as well pick up on it! Yeah!
I’m a man
At least I’m tryin’ to be
I’ve lived before
The other half of me
I’ve lived before
That you don’t want me
But in this search
For nothing desperately
Oh, I’m tryin’ tryin’
Not to be a fool
I’m tryin’ tryin’

JIMI:
YEAH, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I'D LIKE TO DO THIS SONG DEDICATED
TO MAYBE A SOLDIER IN THE ARMY. SINGIN' ABOUT HIS OLD LADY THAT
HE DREAMS ABOUT AND HUMPIN' A MACHINE GUN INSTEAD OR IT COULD BE
COULD BE A CAT MAYBE TRYIN' TO FALL IN LOVE WITH THAT GIRL BABY,
BUT A LITTLE BIT TOO SCARED. THAT'S WHERE THE PROBLEMS COME FROM
SOMETIMES ISN'T IT? I MEEN THE CAT IS REALLY INSECURE A LITTLE BIT

YEAH
HIS GUITAR SWUNG ACROSS HIS BACK
HIS DUSTY BOOTS AND ITS HIS CADILLAC
A PAVEMENT HERE JUST A BLOWIN' IN THE WIND
AIN'T SEE A BED IN SO LONG IT'S A SIN

HE LEFT HOME WHEN HE WAS SEVENTEEN
THE REST OF THE WORLD HE LONGED TO SEE
AND EVERYBODY WHO KNOWS WAS BOSS
A ROLLING STONE GATHERS NO MOSS

NOW YOU PROBABLY CALL HIM A TRAMP
BUT IT GOES A LITTLE DEEPPER THAN THAT
HE'S A HIGHWAY CHILE

YEAH
