Jack Johnson - Sleep Through The Static lyrics

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 Jack Johnson - Sleep Through The Static - http://motolyrics.com/jack-johnson/sleep-through-the-static-lyrics.html

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 and 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 have gone?

Beyond where we should have gone

We went beyond where we should have gone

Beyond where we should have gone
