Jack Johnson - Sleep through the static - live in paris, france/2008 lyrics

Trouble travels fast When you're specially designed for crash testing Wearing wool sungla**es 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 Weather 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 of rain 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 you're weak or you'll use brute force-feed 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 'n' 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? And who needs please when we've got guns? And who needs keys when we've got clubs? And 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 (we went) Beyond where we should have gone
