 Just in cCase the world eDnd

Verse 2

Our guns

Em We shot them iGn the things we said

 Ah we diAmdn't need no bullets

 Cos we reCly on some woDrds instead

EmKill someone in argument

GOutwit them with our brains

 And we'd kAmill ourselves laughing

 At the fuCnny things we'd sDay

Verse 3

And bombs

Em We had them saGved for special times

 When the cAmrew would call a shakedown

 We brCeak down a paDrty landmine

 Jumping roCund till the grDound shook

Verse 4

And missiles

Em They were the roadGtrips that we launched

 And our airEmforce flying

 When the friGsbee in the sky

 Now we're feeCling extra hDigh

 And we'd sEmneak into a carpark

 With the skaGties on our back

 And we're flAmying down the levels howling

 On the atCtack now on the aDttack

Verse 6

And battles

Em They happened in thGese dancehalls

 See we'd raAmther fight with music

 Then the nAmews would not be telling me

 About aCll that warfare endlDessly and
