Sleep Through The Static
Trouble travels fastWhen you're specially designed for crash testingOr wearing wool sunglasses in the afternoonCome on and tell us what you're trying to prove
Because it's a battle when you dabble in warYou store it up, unleash it, then you piece it togetherWhether the storm drain running rampant just stamp itAnd send it to somebody who's pretending to care
Just cash in your blanks for little toy TanksLearn how to use themThen abuse them and choose them over conversationsRelationships are overrated"I hated everyone" said the sun
And so I will cook all your booksYou're too good looking and mistakenYou could watch it insteadFrom the comfort of your burning bedsOr you can sleep through the static
Who needs sleep when we've got love?Who needs keys when we've got clubs?Who needs please when we've got guns?Who needs peace when we've gone aboveBut beyond where we should have gone?We went beyond where we should have gone
Stuck between channels my thoughts all quitI thought about them too much, allowed them to touchThe feelings that rained down on the plains all dried and crackedWaiting for things that never came
Shock and awful thing to make somebody thinkThat they have to choose pushing for peace supporting the troopsAnd either you're weak or you'll use brute force-feed the truthThe truth is we say not as we do
We say anytime, anywhere, just show your teeth and strike the fearOf god wears camouflage, cries at night and drives a dodgePick up the beat and stop hogging the feastThat's no way to treat an enemy
Well, mighty, mighty appetiteWe just eat them up and keep on drivingFreedom can be freezing take a picture from the pretty sideMind your manners wave your bannersWhat a wonderful world that this angle can see
But who needs to see what we've done?Who needs please when we've got guns?Who needs keys when we've got clubs?Who needs peace when we've gone aboveBut beyond where we should have gone?Byond where we should have goneWe went beyond where we should have goneWe went beyond where we should have gone
