Sleep Through The Static - Jack Johnson
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
Cause 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 gone
We went beyond
where we should gone
Stuck between channels
my thoughts all quit
I thought about them too much
allowed them to touch
The feelings rained
down on the plains
all dried and cracked
Waiting for things 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
This 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 a 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 gone
Beyond where we should gone
We went beyond
where we should gone
Beyond where we should gone
