	Story Behind the Song As a member of the entertainment industry, I am shocked by the silence of my peers in this time of crises. I feel that it is our responsibility to raise our voices, to use our talents to spread a message of dissent, in a time when much of the media is controlled by corporate interests. This song is meant to stimulate others to use their voices, to write songs of protest, to represent those who seem to afraid to speak of their own opinions,. Lyrics Weapons of Mass Instruction ©2003 James Gordon 1. Here amongst the trappings of wealth We seem to sit idly by, And watch our leaders Slowly bleed our planet dry. 2. Once an entire generation Sang of our discontent. Before corporations Stole our nation And silenced our dissent. Chorus: But we have weapons of mass instruction, More powerful than guns.. Silent too long, But they are strong They can reach to everyone... These weapons are our voices... And our target is greed and HATE... It’s time for us to aim With our songs again And fire before it’s too late And fire before it’s too late.... Verse 3. In our priveledge and our complacence In our cynisism too, We’ve decided Our hands are tied, There’s nothing we can do... Verse 4. Is a life’s worth less than a barrel of oil?, Does our consumerism blind us, who will sing For all the things That we have left behind us? Repeat Chorus: Verse 5. Let us attack with a volley of protest Legions of singers to the fore... Make it loud Enough to drown out the drums of war.... Half Chorus: But we have weapons of mass instruction More powerful than guns.. Silent too long,... but they are strong They can reach to everyone... They can reach to everyone.v
