If I Were A Weapon - Suzanne Vega

If I were a weapon

You said I’d be a gun

Lethal at close range, I guess

With silencer and stun

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

I’ve concealed a weapon

Like a pocket knife attack

All folded up inside until you see the shine

And then you’ll want it back

(Oooh)

I’ve concealed a weapon

Like 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

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

(Oooh)

Talk it down until we see this through

(Oooh)
