Trouble travels fast
When you're specially designed
for crash testing
Or wearing wool sunglasses
in the afternoon
Come on and tell us
what you're trying to prove
Because it's a battle
when you dabble in war
You store it up unleash it
then you piece it together
Whether the storm drain running rampant
just stamp it
And send it to somebody
who's pretending to care
Just cash in your blanks
for little toy tanks
Learn how to use them
then abuse them and choose them
Over conversations relationships are overrated
I hated everyone
said the sun
And so I will cook all your books
You're too good looking and mistooken
You could watch it instead
From the comfort
of your burning beds
Or 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 above
But beyond
where we should have gone
We went beyond
where we should have gone
Stuck between channels my thoughts all quit
I thought about them too much
allowed them to touch
The feelings that rained down
on the plains all dried and cracked
Waiting for things
that never came
Shock and awful thing
to make somebody think
That they have to choose pushing
for peace supporting the troops
And either you're weak
or you'll use brut force-feed the truth
The truth is we say not
as we do
We say anytime anywhere
just show your teeth
and strike the fear
Of God wears camouflage
cries at night and drives a Dodge
Pick up the beat
stop hogging the feast
That's no way to treat an enemy
Well mighty mighty appetite
we just eat em up
and keep on driving
Freedom can be freezing
take the picture
from the pretty side
Mind your manners
wave your banners
What 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 above
But beyond
where we should have gone
Beyond
where we should have gone
We went beyond
where we should have gone
Beyond
where we should have gone
