I Was A Weapon
Bear Quartet · 89 [2009]
I was a weapon
As a child
Helicopter hovers
Over these waters
Looking so menacing
Could be taken away
The kids just love it
Could be taken away
Opportunity
A dead body
Live in the flesh
As a child
I was a weapon
As a child
As a child
I was a weapon
I Was A Weapon

The track remains a staple of their catalog, often cited alongside other key releases from the era as a prime example of their unique approach to modern rock and roll.
