Suzanne Vega – If I Were A Weapon

Oooh

If I were a weapon

You said I’d be a gun

Lethal at close range I guess

With silencer and stun

But I feel more like a needle

Always pulling on the thread

Always making the same point again

And wondering if you heard what I just said

If you were a weapon

A hammer’s what you’d be

Blunt and heavy at the end

And coming down on me

But I’ve concealed a weapon

In a pocket knife attack

All folded up inside until you see the shine

And then you’ll want it back

Oooh

If I were a weapon

You said I’d be a gun

Lethal at close range I guess

With silencer and stun

Well, if I am that weapon

I am pointing now at you

So just put down the hostage and we’ll

Talk it down until we see this through
