You're a Weapon

from EMPIRE GONE by Downcity Armory

/

lyrics

Wash me in debris
from the ocean's wrath.
Send me a message
on a drowned rat.

Don't declare war
without a weapon to fight,
and send them a message
about what's right.

Over a hundred years in the making
their invisible war
wage enslavement waged on us all.
Real social welfare
is corporate dependence,
a disease of ideas
twisted to intimidate.
When they come for you
and they will soon,
reach for your voice and remember
you're a weapon.

Invisible war no longer
Together we are stronger

Stealing children from
their mother's arms.
Parens patriae and
hurricane harm.

Placate us with
money fit to burn.
Lock up the young
and the old in turn.

Invisible war no longer
Together we are stronger

Our enemies' names adorn bridges
buildings, arenas, statues like masters gazing down.
When symbols are sick the world is sick.
School, media, a mania
fought only when you know the trick:
You're a weapon.
