lyrics

Weapons

Like a curse in the jaw, watch him mutter it out
no one hears him, lending it mouth.
Pulls up in her Porsche, has a word and a laugh
and they both believe they’re alright.
Soon our bus arrives and, soon I’ll be writing

I use the weapons I have,
but I won’t become the instrument
of the choices I had.

That school kid is bored, chews his fringe, spits it out
climbs on our bus and stares out
Soon he’ll be writing, soon he’ll be fighting!

I use the weapons I have,
but I won’t become the instrument
of the choices I had.
Now sing the song that you have
when you’re clumsy with the instruments
is the music so bad?

And they all said, I will never be read, I will never be read.
I don’t know why I see it in you,
I’m there every morning, what should I do
Believe there is more than day in day out
Believe that we’re herd or willing to shout
