[Verse 1] EmG This is a song that came upon me one night Am When the news it had been telling me CD About one more war and one more fight Em And 'aeh' I sighed but then G I thought about my friends Am Then I wrote this declaration CD Just in case the world end
[Verse 2] Our guns EmG We shot them in the things we said Am Ah we didn't need no bullets CD Cos we rely on some words instead Em Kill someone in argument G Outwit them with our brains Am And we'd kill ourselves laughing CD At the funny things we'd say
[Verse 3] And bombs EmG We had them saved for special times Am When the crew would call a shakedown CD We break down a party landmine Em Women that so sexy G They explode us with their looks Am Ah we blowing up some speakers CD Jumping round till the ground shook
[Verse 4] And missiles EmG They were the roadtrips that we launched Am T-t-tripping across this island CD Starting missions at the break of dawn Em Yawn and smile say G What direction shall we take? Am Somewhere where it warm and wet CD This be the route we'd always take and
[Chorus] AmEm Our weapons were our instruments GDC Made from timber and steel Am We never yielded to conformity Em But stood like kings G In a chariot that's riding on a D Record wheel
[Chorus] AmEm Our weapons were our instruments GDC Made from timber and steel Am We never yielded to conformity Em But stood like kings G In a chariot that's riding on a D Record wheel
[Chorus] AmEm Our weapons were our instruments GDC Made from timber and steel Am We never yielded to conformity Em But stood like kings G In a chariot that's riding on a D Record wheel
[Verse 5] Em And our airforce flying G When the frisbee in the sky Am Have a session while we're smoking CD Now we're feeling extra high Em And we'd sneak into a carpark G With the skaties on our back Am And we're flying down the levels howling CD On the attack now on the attack
[Verse 6] And battles EmG They happened in these dancehalls Am See we'd rather fight with music CD Choosing one the rhythm war Em Battle at these shakedowns G And we battle at these gigs Am We do battle in our bedrooms CD Made some sweet love to the beat
[Bridge] Em Then our allies grew G Wherever we would roam Am See whenever we're together CD Any stranger feel at home Em In a way we are an army G But this army not destruct Am No instead we're doing simple things CD Good loving find it run amuck
[Verse 7] Em This be a declaration G Written about my friends Am It's engraved into this song CD So they know I'm not forgetting them Em See maybe if the world contained G More people like these Am Then the news would not be telling me CD About all that warfare endlessly and
[Chorus] AmEm Our weapons were our instruments GDC Made from timber and steel Am We never yielded to conformity Em But stood like kings G In a chariot that's riding on a D Record wheel
