[00:14.27]Trouble travels fast
[00:15.70]When you’re specially designed for crash testing
[00:18.64]Or wearing wool, sunglasses in the afternoon
[00:23.41]Come on and tell us what you’re trying to prove
[00:27.45]Because it’s a battle when you dabble in war
[00:30.33]You store it up, unleash it, then you piece it together
[00:34.10]Whether the storm drain running rampant just stamp it
[00:38.23]And send it to somebody who’s pretending to care
[00:41.54]Just cash in your blanks for little toy tanks
[00:44.42]Learn how to use them, then abuse them and choose them
[00:48.53]Over conversations relationships are overrated
[00:52.02]“I hated everyone” said the sun
[00:54.88]And so I will cook all your books
[00:57.07]You’re too good looking and mistooken
[00:58.85]You could watch it instead
[01:00.35]From the comfort of your burning beds
[01:04.10]…Or you can sleep through the static
[01:08.94]Who needs sleep when we’ve got love?
[01:12.69]Who needs keys when we’ve got clubs?
[01:16.00]Who needs please when we’ve got guns?
[01:19.50]Who needs peace when we’ve gone above
[01:22.94]But beyond where we should have gone?
[01:25.81]We went beyond where we should have gone
[01:30.48]
[01:31.68]Stuck between channels my thoughts all quit
[01:34.00]I thought about them too much, allowed them to touch
[01:38.23]The feelings that rained down on the plains all dried and cracked
[01:41.31]Waiting for things that never came
[01:45.31]Shock and awful thing to make somebody think
[01:47.88]That they have to choose pushing for peace supporting the troops
[01:52.04]And either you’re weak or you’ll use brut force-feed the truth
[01:55.75]The truth is we say not as we do
[01:59.12]We say anytime, anywhere, just show your teeth and strike the fear
[02:03.20]Of god wears camouflage, cries at night and drives a dodge
[02:06.57]Pick up the beat and stop hogging the feast
[02:08.95]That’s no way to treat an enemy
[02:12.95]Well mighty mighty appetite
[02:14.95]We just eat ‘em up and keep on driving
[02:17.07]Freedom can be freezing take a picture from the pretty side
[02:20.89]Mind your manners wave your banners
[02:22.64]What a wonderful world that this angle can see
[02:26.96]But who needs to see what we’ve done?
[02:30.83]Who needs please when we’ve got guns?
[02:34.27]Who needs keys when we’ve got clubs?
[02:37.71]Who needs peace when we’ve gone above
[02:41.14]But beyond where we should have gone?
[02:44.80]Beyond where we should have gone
[02:48.05]We went beyond where we should have gone
[02:51.87]Beyond where we should have gone
