Lyrics

I was just a queer farm boy
Finding Jesus in the countryside
My father at the river
Feel the water through my fingers in the summertime
That feeling don't ya let go
Like something deep in my soul
Hard to define and obscure
But even then I was sure that
If you need an enemy
If you need an enemy
I am the weapon, I am the weapon
If you need an enemy
I am the weapon, I am the weapon
To teenage promiscuity and heteronormativity and everything
Got dirty looks and itchy feet
Took every opportunity to ditch the scene
Oh, I think I feel a change I'll have to hide away
Because oh, what will they make of me?
The reason for all this pain?
I am the weapon, I am the weapon
If you need an enemy
I am the weapon, I am the weapon
I am the weapon, I am the weapon
If you need an enemy
If you need an enemy
Baby it's a double-edged sword
So I'm all yours
Won't somebody think of the children?
God forbid, we're listening to them
Won't somebody listen to reason?
Won't somebody listen to my feelings?
Do you got permission to feel them?
They need a place to put all their fear
I'm growing out my suffragette's beard
Ya, why you gotta make it so weird?
Cos I remember touching his face
The first time that I got to his place
Feeling like the time would stand still
Baby it's something I'd die for
What was I living that lie for?
Yeah they're never gonna learn the lesson
Oh we're always gonna be the weapon
Oh, I think I feel a change almost every day
Oh she said oh, don't you hide a thing
That's not the way you were raised
I am the weapon, I am the weapon
If you need an enemy
I am the weapon, I am the weapon
