[Verse 1]
With my ego in my gut
My babbling mouth would wash it up
But now I've started learning how
I keep it shut

[Verse 2]
My door was never locked
Until one day a trigger come, cocking
But now I've started learning how
I keep it shut

[Verse 3]
Wide eyes would clean and dust
Things that decay, things that rust
But now I've started learning how
I keep 'em shut, I keep 'em shut

[Chorus]
Harm is in us
Harm is in us, but power to arm
Harm is in us
Harm in us, but power to arm
Harm is in us
Leave it open
Harm is in us, but power to arm

[Verse 4]
Narrow mind would persecute it
Die a little to get to it
But now I've started learning how
I leave it open

[Verse 5]
I kept it in a cage
Watched it weeping, but I made it stay
But now I've started learning how
I leave it open, I leave it open

[Chorus]
Harm is in us
Harm in us, but power to arm
Harm is in us
Harm in us, but power to arm
Harm is in us
Leave it open
Harm in us, but power to arm
Harm is in us
Harm in us, but power to arm
Harm is in us
Leave it open
Harm in us, but power to arm
Harm is in us
Harm in us, but power to arm
Harm is in us
Harm in us, but power to arm

[Breakdown]
Harm is in us, harm is in us, harm is in us
Harm is in us, harm is in us, harm is in us
Harm in you and in me!

[Bridge]
What you letting in?
Tell me what you're letting in
Say what we're gonna let in!

[Outro]
We let the weirdness in
We let the weirdness in
We let the weirdness in
We let the weirdness in
We let the weirdness in
We let the weirdness in
We let the weirdness in
We let the weirdness in
We let the weirdness in

Kate Bush is an art pop singer and songwriter from Bexleyheath, a suburb of London, England. Her debut single “Wuthering Heights” hit number one on the UK charts in 1978, winning her a Brit award for best female performance, and propelling her into fame.

She went on to write, record and produce ten studio albums including her UK bestselling fifth album, Hounds of Love in 1985.

She is known for her experimental musical style and live performances, but has only toured twice – first in 1979 then 35 years later in 2014 – both of which have received releases in the form of either an EP, LP and/or video.
