[00:14.27]	Trouble travels fast
[00:15.71]	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
[00:27.46]	Because it’s a battle when you dabble in war
[00:30.34]	You store it up, unleash it, then you piece it together
[00:34.11]	Whether the storm drain running rampant just stamp it
[00:38.23]	And send it to somebody who’s pretending to care
[00:41.55]	Just cash in your blanks for little toy tanks
[00:44.43]	Learn how to use them, then abuse them and choose them
[00:48.53]	Over conversations relationships are overrated
[00:52.03]	“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
[01:00.36]	From the comfort of your burning beds
[01:04.11]	…Or you can sleep through the static
[01:08.94]	Who needs sleep when we’ve got love?
[01:12.70]	Who needs keys when we’ve got clubs?
[01:16.01]	Who needs please when we’ve got guns?
[01:19.51]	Who needs peace when we’ve gone above
[01:22.94]	But beyond where we should have gone?
[01:25.82]	We went beyond where we should have gone
[01:30.49]
[01:31.69]	Stuck between channels my thoughts all quit
[01:34.00]	I thought about them too much, allowed them to touch
[01:38.24]	The feelings that rained down on the plains all dried and cracked
[01:41.32]	Waiting for things that never came
[01:45.32]	Shock and awful thing to make somebody think
[01:47.88]	That they have to choose pushing for peace supporting the troops
[01:52.05]	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
[01:59.13]	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
[02:06.58]	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
[02:17.08]	Freedom can be freezing take a picture from the pretty side
[02:20.89]	Mind your manners wave your banners
[02:22.65]	What a wonderful world that this angle can see
[02:26.96]	But who needs to see what we’ve done?
[02:30.84]	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
[02:41.15]	But beyond where we should have gone?
[02:44.81]	Beyond where we should have gone
[02:48.06]	We went beyond where we should have gone
[02:51.87]	Beyond where we should have gone
