Put Down That Weapon Lyrics
Under the waterline
No place to retire
To another time
The eyes of the world now turn
And if we think about it
And if we talk about it
And if the skies go dark with rain
Can you tell me does our freedom remain
Put down that weapon or we'll all be gone
You can't hide nowhere with the torchlight on
And it happens to be an emergency
Some things aren't meant to be
Some things don't come for free
Above the waterline
Point the finger yeah point the bone
It's the harbour towns
That the grey metal ships call home
And if we think about it
And if we talk about it
And if the sea goes boiling black
Can you tell me what you'll do about that
Put down that weapon or we'll all be gone
I must know something to know it's so wrong
And if happens to be an emergency
Some things aren't meant to be
Some things don't come for free
They keep talking about it
They keep talking...
Put down that weapon or we'll all be gone
You must be crazy if you think you're strong
No place to retire
To another time
The eyes of the world now turn
And if we think about it
And if we talk about it
Can you tell me does our freedom remain
You can't hide nowhere with the torchlight on
And it happens to be an emergency
Some things aren't meant to be
Some things don't come for free
Point the finger yeah point the bone
It's the harbour towns
That the grey metal ships call home
And if we think about it
And if we talk about it
And if the sea goes boiling black
Can you tell me what you'll do about that
I must know something to know it's so wrong
And if happens to be an emergency
Some things aren't meant to be
Some things don't come for free
They keep talking about it
They keep talking...
You must be crazy if you think you're strong

This song is obviously about nucleaqr weapons. The harbour town is Sydney. and about american ships coming to australia full of nuclear weapons.
Yes Ledzep71 - you were right all 3 times !
At least NZ had the guts to say "No" to neclear ships.
chrisb1, u made your point after the 1st entry, grin, just teasing. This is one of my favs
Looks like everyone's repeating themselves here !
Great drum solo by Rob Hirst - did anyone see him do the drum solo on the Andrew Denton interview "Enough Rope" a couple of years ago? Awesome !
Another alarmist piece of work from these self loathing Australians that never eventuates. Ie the our demise from nuclear weapons. They brought peace to the world rather than destruction
