Our Only Weapon Lyrics - Mighty Mighty Bosstones

Read the paper, things look grim 

Watch the news, the outlook's dim 

It's clear to see 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 to 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 may 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
