Weapons Of Mass Instruction

1. Here amongst the trappings of wealth

We seem to sit idly by,

And watch our leaders

Slowly bleed our

planet dry.

2. Once an entire generation

Sang of our discontent.

Before corporations

Stole our nation

And silenced our dissent.

Chorus: But we have weapons of mass instruction

More powerful than guns..

Silent too long,...

but they are strong

They can reach to everyone...

These weapons are our voices...

And our target is greed and HATE...

It's time for us to aim

With our songs again

And fire before it's too late

And fire before it's too late....

Verse 3. In our priveledge and our complacence

In our cynisism too,

We've decided

Our hands are tied,

There's nothing we can do...

Verse 4. When a life's worth less than a barrel of oil,

And our consumerism blinds us,

who will sing

For all the things

that we have left behind us?

Repeat Chorus:

Verse 5. Let us attack with a volley of protest

Legions of singers to the fore...

Make it loud

Enough to drown

out the drums of war....

Half Chorus: But we have weapons of mass instruction

More powerful than guns..

Silent too long,...

but they are strong

They can reach to everyone...

They can reach to everyone.
