Verse 1:
E5 G5
This is a song that came upon me one night
A5
When the news it had been telling me
C5 D5
About one more war and one more fight
E5
And 'aeh' I sighed but then
G5
I thought about my friends
A5
Then I wrote this declaration
C5 D5
Just in case the world end
Verse 2:
Our guns
E5 G5
We shot them in the things we said
A5
Ah we didn't need no bullets
C5 D5
Cos we rely on some words instead
E5
Kill someone in argument
G5
Outwit them with our brains
A5
And we'd kill ourselves laughing
C5 D5
At the funny things we'd say
Verse 3:
And bombs
E5 G5
We had them saved for special times
A5
When the crew would call a shakedown
C5 D5
We break down a party landmine
E5
Women that so sexy
G5
They explode us with their looks
A5
Ah we blowing up some speakers
C5 D5
Jumping round till the ground shook
Verse 4:
And missiles
E5 G5
They were the roadtrips that we launched
A5
T-t-tripping across this island
C5 D5
Starting missions at the break of dawn
E5
Yawn and smile say
G5
What direction shall we take?
A5
Somewhere where it warm and wet
C5 D5
This be the route we'd always take and
Chorus:
A5 E5
Our weapons were our instruments
G5 D5 C5
Made from timber and steel
A5
We never yielded to conformity
E5
But stood like kings
G5
In a chariot that's riding on a
D5
Record wheel

Verse 5:
E5
And our airforce flying
G5
When the frisbee in the sky
A5
Have a session while we're smoking
C5 D5
Now we're feeling extra high
E5
And we'd sneak into a carpark
G5
With the skaties on our back
A5
And we're flying down the levels howling
C5 D5
On the attack now on the attack
Verse 6:
And battles
E5 G5
They happened in these dancehalls
A5
See we'd rather fight with music
C5 D5
Choosing one the rhythm war
E5
Battle at these shakedowns
G5
And we battle at these gigs
A5
We do battle in our bedrooms
C5 D5
Made some sweet love to the beat
Bridge:
E5
Then our allies grew
G5
Wherever we would roam
A5
See whenever we're together
C5 D5
Any stranger feel at home
E5
In a way we are an army
G5
But this army not destruct
A5
No instead we're doing simple things
C5 D5
Good loving find it run amuck
Verse 7:
E5
This be a declaration
G5
Written about my friends
A5
It's engraved into this song
C5 D5
So they know I'm not forgetting them
E5
See maybe if the world contained
G5
More people like these
A5
Then the news would not be telling me
C5 D5
About all that warfare endlessly and
