The Weapon [Grace Under Pressure Tour Live]
[Speaking: Count Floyd]
*howling*
Bwah-hahaha!
Count Floyd here!
And I'm here tonight to introduce a very special song for you
It's a scary song!
One of the scariest I've ever heard
Even the title scares me! It's called... "The Weapon"
Of course you can't enjoy this song unless you've got your 3D glasses
That's right!
'Cause if you don't have your 3D glasses, you'll only be seeing this thing in, ½D!
So be sure you put them on!
Otherwise, you can't enjoy the scary effects
The-the-they'll... ZIP right out at you, believe me!
And the music! Oh, listen to that synthesizer!
And peep those drums! Oh-ho!
Oooh, scary!
Look at that guy dancing! He's scary too
*howling*
Why don't you just put on your 3D glasses now?
And get ready to have the pants scared right off of you
Please, The Weapon
"The Weapon"!
Oooh, scary!
*howling*
[Verse 1]
We’ve got nothing to fear but fear itself
Not pain, not failure, not fatal tragedy
Not the faulty units in this mad machinery
Not the broken contacts in emotional chemistry
Like an iron fist in a velvet glove
We are sheltered under the gun
In the glory game on the power train
Thy kingdom’s will be done
[Hook]
And the things that we fear
Are a weapon to be held against us
[Chorus]
He’s not afraid of your judgement
He knows of horrors worse than your Hell
He’s a little bit afraid of dying
But he’s a lot more afraid of your lying
[Hook]
And the things that he fears
Are a weapon to be held against him
[Verse 2]
Can any part of life be larger than life?
Even love must be limited by time
And those who push us down that they might climb
Is any killer worth more than his crime?
Like a steely blade in a silken sheath
We don’t see what they’re made of
They shout about love, but when push comes to shove
They live for things they’re afraid of
[Hook]
And the knowledge that they fear
Is a weapon to be used against them…
[Chorus]
He’s not afraid of your judgement
He knows of horrors worse than your Hell
He’s a little bit afraid of dying
But he’s a lot more afraid of your lying
[Hook]
And the things that he fears
Are a weapon to be held against him
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Chorus]
He’s not afraid of your judgement
He knows of horrors worse than your Hell
He’s a little bit afraid of dying
But he’s a lot more afraid of your lying
[Instrumental Outro]
