[Intro] Listen Dance is hope made flesh And I am pure hope and bone [Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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 chores and rhythm is my weapon [Bridge 1] A bеat for when I'm broke and heartbrokеn 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 [Verse 3] Sometimes it's nothing special, a little shuffle for the sadness Sometimes I dance off-key to keep my devils guessin' 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 [Verse 4] This world is relentless, depression is the devil Heartbreaks and setbacks take man down a level A wookie said “a fein”, for me it's a lifelong lesson That every day is like a battle and rhythm is the 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 [Bridge 2] Bad vibes, I shimmy off Bad mind, I shimmy off Bad back, I shimmy off Bad news, I shimmy off Bad mates, I shimmy off Big grief, I shimmy off Big beef, I shimmy off Big oof, I shimmy off Tension, I shimmy off Heartbreak, I shimmy off Setbacks, I shimmy off Letdown, I shimmy off Downpour, I shimmy off Regrets, I shimmy off No love, I shimmy off Hangry? Okay, maybe not that one [Verse 5] 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 a damn, then, rhythm is the weapon I said rhythm is the weapon [Outro] Rhythm is the weapon Rhythm is my weapon Rhythm is my weapon Rhythm is the weapon
