Cos you don't need your weapons now You've got to hold on to your world Just stop and put your weapons down You've got to hold on to your world This fading world
(This land) is ahead of it's time Oh but you know it's past it's prime In so many ways (This land) is a miserable rock Stuck like a foot at the end of a sock Full of razor blades (Is mine) the right to defend at all (Is mine) to fight to the end I know (My hand) can't hold back the seas no more But it's not from man that we need defending
'Cos you don't need your weapons now You've got to hold on to your world Just stop and put your weapons down You've got to hold on to your world This fading world
(This land) has damaged the world How many times these toes have curled I've heard many tales (This land) is riddled with lies How many told how the seas would rise At such heavy scale (Is mine) to know what I've seen and own (Is mine) the suffering and screams at home (My hand) can't find New Orleans at all This desperate land that seems to be ending
'Cos you don't need your weapons now You've got to hold on to your world Just stop and put your weapons down You've got to hold on to your world This fading world
