C C
Trouble travels fast
Am Am
When you're specially designed for crash testing
Em Em
Or wearing wool sunglasses in the afternoon
F F
Come on and tell us what you're trying to prove
C C
Because it's a battle when you dabble in war
Am Am
You store it up, unleash it, then you piece it together
Em Em
Whether the storm drain running rampant just stamp it
F F
And send it to somebody who's pretending to care
C C
Just cash in your blanks for little toy tanks
Am Am
Learn how to use them, then abuse them and choose them
Em Em
Over conversations relationships are overrated
F F
"I hated everyone" said the sun
C C
And so I will cook all your books,You're too good looking and mistooken
Am Am
You could watch it instead
Em Em
From the comfort of your burning beds
F F G G
...Or you can sleep through the static
C C G G Am Am
Who needs sleep when we've got love?
Am Am Em Em C C
Who needs keys when we've got clubs?
C C G G Am Am
Who needs please when we've got guns?
Am Am Em Em C C
Who needs peace when we've gone above
C C G G Am Am
But beyond where we should have gone?
Am Am Em Em C C
We went beyond where we should have gone
C C
Stuck between channels my thoughts all quit
Am Am
I thought about them too much, allowed them to touch
Em Em
The feelings that rained down on the plains all dried and cracked
F F
Waiting for things that never came
C C
Shock and awful thing to make somebody think
Am Am
That they have to choose pushing for peace supporting the troops
Em Em
And either you're weak or you'll use brute force-feed the truth
F F
The truth is we say not as we do
C C
We say anytime, anywhere, just show your teeth and strike the fear
Am Am
Of god wears camouflage, cries at night and drives a dodge
Em Em
Pick up the beat and stop hogging the feast
F F
That's no way to treat an enemy
C C
Well mighty mighty appetite

We just eat 'em up and keep on driving
Am Am
Freedom can be freezing take a picture from the pretty side
Em Em
Mind your manners wave your banners
F F G G
What a wonderful world that this angle can see
C C G G Am Am
But who needs to see what we've done?
Am Am Em Em C C
Who needs please when we've got guns?
C C G G Am Am
Who needs keys when we've got clubs?
Am Am Em Em C C
Who needs peace when we've gone above
C C G G Am Am
But beyond where we should have gone?
Am Am Em Em C C
Beyond where we should have gone
C C G G Am Am
We went beyond where we should have gone
Am Am Em Em C C
Beyond where we should have gone
