Weapons Lyrics by Rough Trade

Weapons

1983

You told me I had something that
Drove you wild
Made you subservient
Made you feel guilty
You want to worship me
Like a Madonna
You want to slap me around
Because you fear me

You gave me these weapons
I feel free to use them
You gave me these weapons
To control you

You put me up on the pedestal
My arsenal is flesh and blood
My lips, my breast, my body
Keep you at my mercy
You're torn between passion and pride
It's not a question of wrong or right
I've been a victim too long
On this battleground

You gave me these weapons
I feel free to use them
You gave me these weapons
How could I refuse them
You gave me these weapons
And I'm gonna use them
You gave me these weapons
To control you

You put me up on the pedestal
My arsenal is flesh and blood
My lips, my breast, my body
Keep you at my mercy
You want to worship me
Like a Madonna
You want to slap me around
Because you fear me

You gave me these weapons
And I'm gonna use them
You gave me these weapons
How could I refuse them
You gave me these weapons
I feel free to use them
You gave me these weapons
To control you

You gave me
You gave me
You gave me
Gave me these weapons
