Verse 1
[Em] [G]
This is a song that came upon me one night
[Am]
When the news it had been telling me
[C] [D]
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
[C] [D]
Just in case the world end
Verse 2
Our guns
[Em] [G]
We shot them in the things we said
[Am]
Ah we didn't need no bullets
[C] [D]
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
[C] [D]
At the funny things we'd say
Verse 3
And bombs
[Em] [G]
We had them saved for special times
[Am]
When the crew would call a shakedown
[C] [D]
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
[C] [D]
Jumping round till the ground shook
Verse 4
And missiles
[Em] [G]
They were the roadtrips that we launched
[Am]
T-t-tripping across this island
[C] [D]
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
[C] [D]
This be the route we'd always take and
Chorus
[Am] [Em]
Our weapons were our instruments
[G] [D] [C]
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
[C] [D]
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
[C] [D]
On the attack now on the attack
Verse 6
And battles
[Em] [G]
They happened in these dancehalls
[Am]
See we'd rather fight with music
[C] [D]
Choosing one the rhythm war
[Em]
Battle at these shakedowns
[G]
And we battle at these gigs
[Am]
We do battle in our bedrooms
[C] [D]
Made some sweet love to the beat
Bridge
[Em]
Then our allies grew
[G]
Wherever we would roam
[Am]
See whenever we're together
[C] [D]
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
[C] [D]
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
[C] [D]
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
[C] [D]
About all that warfare endlessly and
