Our Only Weapon

Our Only Weapon

Mighty Mighty Bosstones
(album: Don´t Know How To Party)

Read the paper, things look grim
Watch the news, the outlook´s dim
It´s clear to see that there is something wrong
Could be that we don´t change a lot
But we should give it our best shot
Our only weapon is a song

Maybe we´re being too naive
But this is something we believe
What´s beyond belief is just how much is wrong
Nothing is gained when people fight
Maybe our heads aren´t screwed on tight
Our only weapon is a song

We´re not building bombs or storing ammunition
We´re just playing songs hoping people will listen
Others try hate but hate won´t move anything
We´re trying love and unity too
We´re not packing pistols, we´re not waging war
Most of our missiles have only four chords
It´s not a great plan but we like the agenda
The arsenal´s music and the army´s our friend

Could be our idea isn´t great
Maybe our heads aren´t screwed on straight
We might be wrong and maybe nothing´s wrong
And we might never win the war
But we´ll have fun and that´s for sure
Our only weapon is a song
