Verse 1

EmThis is a song that came uGpon me one night

When the nAmews it had been telling me

About oCne more war and oDne more fight

And 'aEmeh' I sighed but then

I thoGught about my friends

Then I wrAmote this declaration

Just in cCase the world eDnd

Verse 2

Our guns

Em We shot them iGn the things we said

Ah we diAmdn't need no bullets

Cos we reCly on some woDrds instead

EmKill someone in argument

GOutwit them with our brains

And we'd kAmill ourselves laughing

At the fuCnny things we'd sDay

Verse 3

And bombs

Em We had them saGved for special times

When the cAmrew would call a shakedown

We brCeak down a paDrty landmine

EmWomen that so sexy

They expGlode us with their looks

Ah we bloAmwing up some speakers

Jumping roCund till the grDound shook

Verse 4

And missiles

Em They were the roadGtrips that we launched

T-t-triAmpping across this island

Starting misCsions at the brDeak of dawn

YEmawn and smile say

What dirGection shall we take?

AmSomewhere where it warm and wet

CThis be the route we'd alDways take and

But stEmood like kings

In a chaGriot that's riding on a

RecDord wheel

Verse 5

And our airEmforce flying

When the friGsbee in the sky

Have a seAmssion while we're smoking

Now we're feeCling extra hDigh

And we'd sEmneak into a carpark

With the skaGties on our back

And we're flAmying down the levels howling

On the atCtack now on the aDttack

Verse 6

And battles

Em They happened in thGese dancehalls

See we'd raAmther fight with music

ChooCsing one the rhyDthm war

EmBattle at these shakedowns

And we baGttle at these gigs

We do baAmttle in our bedrooms

Made some swCeet love to the bDeat

Bridge

Then our alEmlies grew

WhereGver we would roam

See whenAmever we're together

Any straCnger feel at hDome

In a wEmay we are an army

But this aGrmy not destruct

No insAmtead we're doing simple things

Good loCving find it rDun amuck

Verse 7

EmThis be a declaration

WriGtten about my friends

It's engAmraved into this song

So they kCnow I'm not forgDetting them

See maEmybe if the world contained

MGore people like these

Then the nAmews would not be telling me

About aCll that warfare endlDessly and
