The Chariot Songtext

I thought about my friends

then I wrote this declaration

just in case the world end



Our guns

we shot them in the things we said

ah we didn't need no bullets

cos we rely on some words instead

kill someone in argument

outwit them with our brains
and we'd kill ourselves laughing

at the funny things we'd say



And bombs

we had them saved for special times

when the crew would call a shakedown

we break down a party landmine

women that so sexy

they explode us with their looks

ah we blowing up some speakers

jumping round till the ground shook



And missiles

they were the roadtrips that we launched

t-t-tripping across this island

starting missions at the break of dawn

yawn and smile say

'what direction shall we take?'



'Somewhere where it warm and wet'

this be the route we'd always take and



Our weapons were our instruments

made from timber and steel

we never yielded to conformity

but stood like kings

in a chariot that's riding on a

record wheel



cutting up the she-wol

on the attack now and we know

rolls it up sparks it

lights it, loves it

goes back to red couch and

he's chillin', he's loungin'

and we're on the attack now

and we're absolutely lovin' it

with the Empire

and we know that it's good

'cause we love it

and we know that it's great

we're on the attack now

and we're absolutely lovin' it

we're loungin' and we're kickin' it



Our weapons were our instruments

made from timber and steel

we never yielded to conformity

but stood like kings

in a chariot that's riding on a

record wheel x2



And our airforce flying

when the frisbee in the sky

have a session while we're smoking

now we're feeling extra high

and we'd sneak into a carpark

with the skaties on our back

and we're flying down the levels howling

'on the attack now on the attack'



And battles

they happened in these dancehalls

see we'd rather fight with music

choosing one the rhythm war

battle at these shakedowns

and we battle at these gigs

we do battle in our bedrooms

made some sweet love to the beat



Then our allies grew

wherever we would roam

see whenever we together

any stranger feel at home

in a way we are an army

but this army not destruct

no instead we doing simple things

good loving find it run amuck



This be a declaration

written about my friends

it's engraved into this song

so they know I'm not forgetting them

see maybe if the world contained

more people like these

then the news would not be telling me

about all that warfare endlessly and



Our weapons were our instruments

made from timber and steel

we never yielded to conformity

but stood like kings

in a chariot that's riding on

a record wheel
