Put Down That Weapon - Lyrics
Under the waterline
No place to retire
To another time
The eyes of the world now turn
And if we think about it
And if we talk about it
And if the skies go dark with rain
Can you tell me, does our freedom remain?
[Chorus 1]
Put down that weapon or we'll all be gone
You can't hide nowhere with the torchlight on
And it happens to be an emergency
Some things aren't meant to be
Some things don't come for free
Above the waterline
Point the finger, yeah, point the bone
It's the harbour towns
That the grey metal ships call home
And if we think about it
And if we talk about it
And if the sea goes boiling black
Can you tell me what you'll do about that
[Chorus 2]
Put down that weapon or we'll all be gone
I must know something to know it's so wrong
And it happens to be an emergency
Some things aren't meant to be
Some things don't come for free
They keep talking about it
They keep talking about it
They keep talking
They keep talking
Talking
And it happens to be an emergency
Some things aren't meant to be
Some things don't come for free
[Chorus 2]
[Chorus 3]
Put down that weapon or we'll all be gone
You must be crazy if you think you're strong
Cause it happens to be an emergency
Some things aren't meant to be
And some things don't come for free

@@kzinful And it must be said that this war is just a proxy war by the West, who doesn't really have much to lose. It isn't their families being shot or blown up. It isn't their cities burning. It isn't their economies suffering. But they'll gladly prolong this war with their money and weapons despite the fact that it could've been solved diplomatically within weeks. The "we hate Russia" warmongers are a bloodthirsty group.

There are several Midnight Oil songs that make reference to nuclear weapons, but this is one of the strongest.

This song is about nuclear weapons not guns. This was the late 1980s, Reagan and Gorbachev kept "talking about it" (nuclear arms reductions and treaties)...the lyrics talk about US Navy ships in Sydney harbor that were a part of the US nuclear weapons program. Midnight OIl did many song about nuclear weapons in the 1980s: Read About It, Maralinga, Minutes To Midnight, Hercules, Blossom and Blood, Pictures, and Put Down That Weapon. I am glad people are debating gun control laws and hope the debates will involve which laws are good ones and which aren't instead of the simple minded nonsense of guns for no one, no matter what versus guns for everbody, anytime, anywhere no matter what, but seriously guys and girls, this song has NOTHING to do with guns. It's about nuclear weapons.

I agree, it's against nuclear weapon has it is clearly said in the lyrics: "Put down that weapon or we'll all be gone" And don't forget their first success Powderworks in 1978: "There's two sticks in the powderworks I think it's gonna blow today"

Truth is that I'm ashamed of my generation. We,the baby boomers, were full of big talk about peace and justice, Equal rights,etc. Then the truth willed out.It was more about what we could snivel out of. Where we could rape the planet so we could have our SUV's and energy gobbling homes.Me,me,me. We did fuck all. Berating our square parents as if we were the knowers of all that was just. What bullshit. Iraq in 2003 wasn't a "police action" like Vietnam. The U.S. invaded another nation based on out and out lies. When the truth came out we did and said nothing. The Pols must have said. "Run more beer and truck ads and they'll forget. They're just a bunch of spoiled magpies!" And it worked! Disgusting

99.9999999999999999999999999989% of humans have never heard Midnight Oil the greatest band of all times from Australia. Peter Garrett is the greatest poet that ever walked the earth. Such an Obscure and EPIC group. One of the first bands that I ever heard nearly 30 years ago. Amazing how these dudes make me feel inside. What a special and one of a kind band.
