Armed Our People

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You armed our people For the wrong damn war Sent love to the front And hate through the door Made a small score Look like a holy cause Held tight to the grudge Then called it the laws Brothers on the curb Mothers in the gap We point at each other While the real threat snaps Who built that fire? Who fed that room? We swing at our own Then blame the moon [Pre-Chorus] Ain’t that a shame We know each face But not the hand That set the place We quick to swing Quick to accuse When the real one comes We got nothing to use [Chorus] You armed our people To fight our people You armed our people Now it’s feeble We know not enemies But we know the harm We know how to bruise Right from our own arm You armed our people To fight our people You armed our people Now it’s feeble [Verse 2] Frivolous banners Wrapped in pride Tiny opinions With a blade inside Selfish principles Crowned like kings But they fall apart When the danger rings Real one outside Real one near Who can meet that energy? Who can hold that fear? We pass the pain Like it’s family gold Then wonder why The house went cold I seen good hearts Turned into tools By wounded mouths And borrowed rules [Bridge] If we knew the enemy We’d know the name But we keep on bleeding For a smaller game Take that weapon Off your kin Save that anger For the one within [Chorus] You armed our people To fight our people You armed our people Now it’s feeble We know not enemies But we know the harm We know how to bruise Right from our own arm You armed our people To fight our people You armed our people Now it’s feeble
