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 

   G
Record wheel

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
