Trouble travels fast 
When you’re specially designed for crash testing 
Or wearing wool sunglasses in the afternoon [bad word] 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 [bad word] 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 [bad word] 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 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 [bad word] force-feed the [bad word] 
The [bad word] 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
