Backbeat Soundsystem Words Are The Weapon lyrics

[Sample] – “If there is one principle I could emphasize, that is the most important principle in underlying the prevention of violence, it would be equality.
The single most significant factor that affects the rate of violence, is the degree of equality versus the degree of inequality in that society”

Don't count me out, I'm not a number. Don't push me down, I won't go under.
Oh la la. Your words are the weapon and you don't have to fight to be heard.
Don't count me out, I'm not a number. Don't push me down, I won't go under.
Oh la la. Your words are the weapon and you don't have to fight to be heard.

So if I tempt you, will I push a little-little?
Can I grind at you?
If I throw a little riddle, it'll find you.
Though you're stuck with a numb skull. If there's no sense, is there feeling?
I won't lie to you, I feel that I'm an honest man.
I tell it straight, and then again, if you don't understand.
I make my pocket change act more like a hundred grand. But like I'm after bad luck, I get it on demand.

I like my foes strong. I like my friends strange.
If I get the game wrong, I'll make the rules change. Time to get up and push it,
I set the bar higher. Like it's my last chance, I'm gonna get this set on fire.

Don't count me out, I'm not a number. Don't push me down, I won't go under.
Oh la la. Your words are the weapon and you don't have to fight to be heard.
Don't count me out, I'm not a number. Don't push me down, I won't go under.
Oh la la. Your words are the weapon and you don't have to fight to be heard.


If I keep on feeling like I'm feeling today,
Yeah, I ain't gonna take it, I'm gonna take it away.
I don't throw blame cause I want something to say. If there's no sense, there's no feeling.
It's been a long week, I got a lot on my chest,
And if I don't speak, man it just ain't gonna rest.
It's gonna creep up when I've got somewhere to be, then I can't be responsible for what I may say.

I like my foes strong. I like my friends strange.
If I get the game wrong, I'll make the rules change. Time to get up and push it,
I set the bar higher. Like it's my last chance, I'm gonna get this set on fire.

Don't count me out, I'm not a number. Don't push me down, I won't go under.
Oh la la. Your words are the weapon and you don't have to fight to be heard.
Don't count me out, I'm not a number. Don't push me down, I won't go under.
Oh la la. Your words are the weapon and you don't have to fight to be heard.

Your words are the weapon, and you don't have to fight, fight, fight.
Can I tempt you? If I push a little, little…
Can I tempt you? If I push a little, little…
Can I tempt you? If I push a little, little…
Can I tempt you, if I push a little, little, can I?
