[B] [Em] This is a song that came [G] up for me one night when the [Am] news had been telling me better [D] one
more war and one more fight and [Em] I sighed but then I thought about my friends then I [Am] wrote
this declaration just in [D] case the world [Em] and our guns we shot them [G] in the face we said
we [Am] didn't need no bullets cause we [D] rely on some words instead kill someone in an [G] argument
out with them with our brains [Am] and we kill ourselves laughing at the funny [D] things we
[Em] say we [G] had them say for special times [Am] when the crew would call a shakedown we break [D] down
a party [Em] land mine women that's so [G] sexy they explode us with their looks [Am] are we blowing
up some speakers jumping around till [D] the grass shoots [Em] and missiles they [G] were the road trips
that we launched [Am] a trip in cross the silence that emissions [D] at the break of [Em] dawn your name
smile say [G] what direction shall we take [Am] somewhere where it warm and wet at least better [D] route we'd
always [Am] taken our weapons [Em] were our instruments made from a timber [C] and steel we [Am] never yield

[D#] now on the [Em] attack now on the attack and battles they [G] happen in these eyes or [Am] see we'd rather
fight with music choosing one the rhythm world [Bm] battle at these [G] shakedowns and we battle at
these skis [Am] we do battle in our bedroom [C] space we'd love to defeat [Em] and our allies crew [G] wherever
we will grow [Am] see whenever we together [C] any stranger feel at home [Em] in a way we are an army [G] but this
army not this truck [Am] no it's that we doing simple [C] things good loving find it run [Em] amok
this be a [G] declaration written about my friends [Am] it's engraved into this song so [C] they know I'm
not forgetting them [Em] see maybe if the world can take [F#] more people like these then the news would
not be telling me about all that [Am] warfare endlessly our weapons [Em] were our instruments made from a
timber [C] and steel we never [Am] yield the two [Em] conformity but stood like [G] kings in a chariot that's [D] riding on
