Lyrics

Listen, dance is hope made flesh
And I am pure hope and bone
When the day is long and the afternoon is heavy
I allow myself a song and dance to get my spirit steady
'Cause this life is a battle, let me show you how I fight
Music is my armour, and rhythm is my weapon
When I dance I fix my step, when I dance I'm not upset
The rent is due but for a bit this hurt is off my neck
'Cause dance is hope made flesh, and right now, I'm hope and bone
This world is strain and jaws and rhythm is my weapon
A beat for when I'm broken, heartbroken
A bass line to tide me over, get me out from under
A melody to carry me from one moment to another
Every day's a battle and rhythm is my weapon
Sometimes it's nothing special, a little shuffle for the sadness
Sometimes I dance off-key to keep my devils guessing
You might think it's cringe, but I will leave that to your discretion
You fight the dark your way, for me, rhythm is my weapon
My knees aren't always smooth, and my voice is not much better
I'm trying to survive here, I've got no time to look pleasant
And I don't have the answers, mate, I barely have the questions
How did I make it this far? Rhythm is the weapon
And this world is relentless, depression is a devil
Heartbreaks and setbacks take man down a level
But Wookie said a thing, for me, it's a lifelong lesson
That every day is like a battle and rhythm is a weapon
A song to bring the lights back up, a dance for when I'm rough
When I step out of a storm, I shimmy all that water off
Bad vibes, shimmy off
Bad mind, shimmy off
Bad back, shimmy off
Bad news, shimmy off
Bad mates, shimmy off
Big grief, shimmy off
Big beef, shimmy off
Big oof, shimmy off
Tension, shimmy off
Heartbreak, shimmy off
Setbacks, shimmy off
Letdowns, shimmy off
Downpour, shimmy off
Regrets, shimmy off
No love, shimmy off
Hungry? Okay, maybe not that one
What right have I to dance when the whole world is on fire?
What sleep can ever satisfy when my spirit is what is tired?
But I saw some kids in Gaza break dancing in a crater
And if this world is worth for damn then rhythm is the weapon
I said rhythm is the weapon
Rhythm is the weapon
Rhythm is my weapon
Rhythm is my weapon
Rhythm is the weapon
