Best Weapon

From a walk to a run
By the time they're done, there is only rust
And the official language of fucked up and static and
Before he speaks, his machines all agree
Lips wind them up and march them out
History repeated and read out loud

This could be our
Best weapon now
So they don't look now

Stripes and suits pushing the numbers through
They treat them like they don't exist
And they count them up like they're matchsticks
And they don't recognise until spoken in a headline
They're just more words, they're just more words
That I can't wait to unlearn, I can't wait

This could be our
Best weapon now
Better keep your head down
Down, down
Down, down

I said this could be our
Best weapon now
I said hey, don't look now
Our best weapon now
