Tuning:Normal
Verse 1:
Dm F
This is a song that came upon me one night
Dm
When the news it had been telling me
F G
About one more war and one more fight
Dm
And 'aeh' I sighed but then
F
I thought about my friends
Dm
Then I wrote this declaration
F G
Just in case the world end
Verse 2:
Our guns
Dm F
We shot them in the things we said
Dm
Ah we didn't need no bullets
F G
Cos we rely on some words instead
Dm
Kill someone in argument
F
Outwit them with our brains
Dm
And we'd kill ourselves laughing
F G
At the funny things we'd say
Verse 3:
And bombs
Dm F
We had them saved for special times
Dm
When the crew would call a shakedown
F G
We break down a party landmine
Dm
Women that so sexy
F
They explode us with their looks
Dm
Ah we blowing up some speakers
F G
Jumping round till the ground shook
Verse 4:
And missiles
Dm F
They were the roadtrips that we launched
Dm
T-t-tripping across this island
F G
Starting missions at the break of dawn
Dm
Yawn and smile say
F
What direction shall we take?
Dm
Somewhere where it warm and wet
F G
This be the route we'd always take and
Chorus:
Dm Dm
Our weapons were our instruments
F G F
Made from timber and steel
Dm
We never yielded to conformity
Dm
But stood like kings
F
In a chariot that's riding on a

Verse 5:
Dm
And our airforce flying
F
When the frisbee in the sky
Dm
Have a session while we're smoking
F G
Now we're feeling extra high
Dm
And we'd sneak into a carpark
F
With the skaties on our back
Dm
And we're flying down the levels howling
F G
On the attack now on the attack
Verse 6:
And battles
Dm F
They happened in these dancehalls
Dm
See we'd rather fight with music
F G
Choosing one the rhythm war
Dm
Battle at these shakedowns
F
And we battle at these gigs
Dm
We do battle in our bedrooms
F G
Made some sweet love to the beat
Bridge:
Dm
Then our allies grew
F
Wherever we would roam
Dm
See whenever we're together
F G
Any stranger feel at home
Dm
In a way we are an army
F
But this army not destruct
Dm
No instead we're doing simple things
F G
Good loving find it run amuck
Verse 7:
Dm
This be a declaration
F
Written about my friends
Dm
It's engraved into this song
F G
So they know I'm not forgetting them
Dm
See maybe if the world contained
F
More people like these
Dm
Then the news would not be telling me
F G
About all that warfare endlessly and
