Sleep Through The StaticTrouble travels fastWhen you're specially designed for crash testingOr wearing wool sunglasses in the afternoonCome on and tell us what you're trying to proveBecause 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 careJust cash in your blanks for little toy tanksLearn how to use them, then abuse them and choose themOver conversations relationships are overrated"I hated everyone" said the sunAnd so I will cook all your booksYou're too good looking and mistookenYou could watch it insteadFrom the comfort of your burning beds...Or you can sleep through the staticWho 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 goneStuck 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 cameShock 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 brut force-feed the truthThe truth is we say not as we doWe 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 enemyWell mighty mighty appetiteWe just eat 'em 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 seeBut 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?Beyond where we should have goneWe went beyond where we should have goneBeyond where we should have gone
