Jack Johnson - Sleep Through The Static - Paris, France lyrics

Trouble travels fast when youre specially designed for crash testing Or wearing wool sungla**es in the afternoon Come on and tell us what youre trying to prove 'Cause its 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 whos pretending to care Just cash in your blanks for little toy tanks Learn how to use them and abuse them And choose them over conversations Relationships are overrated, I hated everyone, said the sun And so I will cook all your books Youre too good looking and mistooken You could watch it instead from the comfort of your burning beds Or you can sleep through the static But who needs sleep when weve got love? Who needs keys when weve got clubs? Who needs 'please' when weve got guns? Who needs peace when weve 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, an awful thing to make somebody think That they have to choose, pushing for peace, supporting the troops And either youre weak or you use brute 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 Thats 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 weve done? Who needs 'please' when weve got guns? Who needs keys when weve got clubs? Who needs peace when weve 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
