Lyrics
Intro
Oh oh
A-hoo
Well now
Verse 1
Got a notebook
Leather bound and looking slightly frayed
Thinking 'bout the giant mess I made
With just a click of the plastic cap
Better than a physical trap
Pre-Chorus
It is mightier
It is heavier
It is steadier
Chorus
Ink on the paper beats the iron in the hand
Moving like a tidal wave across the dry land
You can swing a blade
You can throw a stone
But the lines I scribble reach into the bone
Yeah the Pen is is the power
Yeah the Pen is is the king
Pen is is mightier than the sword is
Watch the whole wide world start to swing
Verse 2
Black liquid
Dripping off the tip of my ballpoint
Souring the mood of the whole joint
Metal can't cut through the truth
Spoken by the reckless youth
Pre-Chorus
It is sharper
It is smarter
It is harder
Chorus
Ink on the paper beats the iron in the hand
Moving like a tidal wave across the dry land
You can swing a blade
You can throw a stone
But the lines I scribble reach into the bone
Yeah the Pen is is the power
Yeah the Pen is is the king
Pen is is mighter than the sword is
Watch the whole wide world start to swing
Bridge
Draw a circle
Draw a square
Write a letter
Show you care
Sign a treaty
End a fight
Keep on scratching through the night
A simple signature
A little sketch
Farther than any cannon can stretch
Chorus
Ink on the paper beats the iron in the hand
Moving like a tidal wave across the dry land
You can swing a blade
You can throw a stone
But the lines I scribble reach into the bone
Yeah the Pen is is the power
Yeah the Pen is is the king
Pen is is mightier than the sword is
Watch the whole wide world start to swing
Post-Chorus
Write it down
Write it down
Pass it 'round
Pass it 'round
Let it ring
Let it ring
Chorus
Ink on the paper beats the iron in the hand
Moving like a tidal wave across the dry land
You can swing a blade
You can throw a stone
But the lines I scribble reach into the bone
Yeah the Pen is is the power
Yeah the Pen is is the king
Pen is is mightier than the sword is
Watch the whole wide world start to swing
Pen is is mightier than the
Guitar Solo
Verse 3
From the border town to the seaside piers
Changing minds and washing away the fears
The ink well is deeper than the deep blue sea
Unlocking the gates and setting us free
Keep the flint and keep the steel
The ink is the only thing that's real
Smeared across a greasy page
Curing all the anger and the rage
Pre-Chorus
It is swifter
It is grander
It is better
Chorus
Ink on the paper beats the iron in the hand
Moving like a tidal wave across the dry land
You can swing a blade
You can throw a stone
But the lines I scribble reach into the bone
Yeah the Pen is is the power
Yeah the Pen is is the king
Pen is is mightier than the sword is
Watch the whole wide world start to swing
Post-Chorus
Oh oh (Write it down)
A-hoo (Let it ring)
The ink is the thing (Pass it 'round)
The pen is the king (Let it ring)
Guitar and Mandolin Solo
Verse 4
Fold it up and tuck it in your sleeve
Give 'em something that they can believe
No shield can stop the message coming through
A message meant for me and meant for you
Drying under the desert heat
Turning the bitter into something sweet
History is written by the one with the lead
Planting the vision inside of your head
Pre-Chorus
It is taller
It is louder
It is stronger
Chorus
Ink on the paper beats the iron in the hand
Moving like a tidal wave across the dry land
You can swing a blade
You can throw a stone
But the lines I scribble reach into the bone
Yeah the Pen is is the power
Yeah the Pen is is the king
Pen is is mightier than the sword is
Watch the whole wide world start to swing
Outro
Just a drop of midnight blue
Coming straight for you
Put it on the paper
Watch it turn to vapor
A simple pen
Does it again
Oh the pen is king
Yeah it’s the king
Let it ring
A-hoo
Write it down
Write it down
Let the ink dry
On the goodbye
(The pen is mightier)
Yeah the pen is king
(The pen is mightier)
End
