[Verse 1]
[Am]This is a song that came upon [C]me
One night
When the [Dm]news it had been telling me
Bout [F]one more war and [G]one more fight
[Am]and I, I sighed
But then I [C]thought about my friends
Then I [Dm]wrote this declaration
Just in [F]case the world [G]end
Our [Am]guns
We shot them [C]in the things we said
Ah we [Dm]didn't need no bullets
Cause we [F]rely on some [G]words instead
[Am]Kill someone in argument
Out[C]wit them with our brains
And we'd [Dm]kill ourselves laughing
At the [F]funny things [G]we'd say

[Verse 2]
And [Am]bombs
We had them [C]saved for special times
When the [Dm]crew would call a shakedown
We'd [F]break down a [G]party landmine
[Am]Women that so sexy
They [C]explode us with their looks
Ah we [Dm]blowing up some speakers
Jumping [F]'round 'til the ground [G]shook
And [Am]missiles
They were the [C]road-trips that we launched
T-t-[Dm]triping 'cross this island
Starting [F]missions at the [G]break of dawn
[Am]Yawn and smile say
What di[C]rection shall we take?
[Dm]Somewhere where it warm and wet
[F]This be the route we'd [G]always take and

[Chorus 1]
[Dm]Our weapons were our instr[Am]uments
[C]Made from our [G]timber and [F]steel
We never [Dm]yield- ed to conformity
But [Am]stood like kings
In a [C]chariot that's riding on a
[G]Record wheel

[Verse 3]
And our [Am]air-force flying
When the [C]frisbee in the sky
Have a [Dm]session while we're smoking
Now we're [F]feeling extra [G]high
And we'd [Am]sneak into a car-park
With the [C]skaties on our back
And we're [Dm]flying down the levels howling
[F]"On the attack now, on the attack"
And [Am]battles
They happened [C]in these dancehalls
See we'd [Dm]rather fight with music
Choosing [F]when the rhythm [G]won
[Am]Battle at these shakedowns
And we'd [C]battle at these gigs
We do [Dm]battle in our bedrooms
Made some [F]sweet love to the [G]beat

[Verse 4]
And our [Am]allies grew
Where[C]ever we would roam
See when[Dm]ever we're together
Any [F]stranger feel at [G]home
In a [Am]way we are an army
But this [C]army not destruct
No in[Dm]stead we're doing simple things
Good [F]loving, find it, [G]run amuck
[Am]This be a declaration
[C]Written about my friends
It's en[Dm]graved into this song
So they [F]know we're not for[G]getting them
See [Am]maybe if the world contained
More [C]people like these
Then the [Dm]news would not be telling me
Bout [F]all that warfare [G]endlessly and

[Chorus 2]
[Dm]Our weapons were our instr[Am]uments
[C]Made from our [G]timber and [F]steel
We never [Dm]yield- ed to conformity
But [Am]stood like kings
In a [C]chariot that's riding on a
[G]Record wheel
