Rough Trade - Weapons

From Rough Trade's 1983 album, 'Weapons'.

Lyrics:
You told me I had something that drove you wild
Made you subservient, made you feel guilty
You want to worship me like a "Madonna"
You wouldn't slap me around because you fear me

You gave me these weapons
I feel free to use them
You gave me these weapons
To control you

You put me up on a pedestal
My arsenal is flesh and blood
My lips, my breasts, my body
Keep you at my mercy
You're torn between passion and pride
It's not a question of wrong or right
I've been a victim too long on this battle ground

[It's War]
You gave me these weapons
How could I refuse them?
[It's War]
You gave me these weapons
To control you
You gave me these weapons
And I'm gonna use them
You gave me these weapons
To control you

[Break]

You put me up on a pedestal
My arsenal is flesh and blood
My lips, my breasts, my body
Keep you at my mercy
You want to worship me like a "Madonna"
You wouldn't slap me around because you fear me

[It's War]
You gave me these weapons
How could I refuse them?
[It's War]
You gave me these weapons
I feel free to use them
To control you
You gave me these weapons
And I'm gonna use them
You gave me these weapons
To control you

You gave me... gave me these weapons
