lyrics

Right Weapon in the Wrong Hands

I got a 72 V dub
And my friends call be Ted, bud
Now is the time to make plans
Got the right weapon in the wrong hands

I ain’t about to get stopped by

Sixteen Hail Marys
And ten Our Fathers
Spells don’t work on me
You must try harder
No priest or lawyer
No fucking teacher
No psychiatric assessment needed
I am alabaster, I am Concorde
I am the right weapon in the wrong hands

She was about to leave me
But I was just going out
I didn’t know the city
And it didn’t seem to recognise me

I want to buy a jet ski
And drive to a little lake
And sit on the shore all day
Thinking ‘now what?’
