[C]Trouble travels fast
When you’re specially designed for crash testing [Am]
Or wearing wool sunglasses in the afternoon [G]
Come on and tell us what you’re trying to prove [F]
Because it’s a battle wh[C]en you dabble in war
You store it up, unleash[Am] it, then you piece it together
Whether the storm drain running [G]rampant just stamp it
And send it to somebody who’s pr[F]etending to care
Just cas[C]h in your blanks for little toy tanks
Learn how to use them[Am], then abuse them and choose them
Over conversatio[G]ns relationships are overrated
[F]“I hated everyone” said the sun
And so I will cook al[C]l your books
You’re too good looking and mistooken
You cou[Am]ld watch it instead
From the comfort of your burning beds [G]
…Or you can sleep through the static [F] [G]
Chorus
[C]Who needs sleep when[G] we’ve got love? [Am]
[F]Who needs keys when [G]we’ve got clubs?[C]
[C]Who needs please when[G] we’ve got guns? [Am]
[F]Who needs peace when[G] we’ve gone above [C]
But beyo[C]nd where we should have [G]gone? [Am]
We went [F]beyond where we should h[G]ave gone [C]
Verse
[C]Stuck between channels my thoughts all quit
I thought about [Am]them too much, allowed them to touch
The feelings that r[G]ained down on the plains all dried and cracked
Wa[F]iting for things that never came
Shock and awful thi[C]ng to make somebody think
That they have to choose pushing[Am] for peace supporting the troops
And either you’re weak or y[G]ou’ll use brut force-feed the truth
The truth is we [F]say not as we do
We say anytime, anywhe[C]re, just show your teeth and strike the fear
Of go[Am]d wears camouflage, cries at night and drives a dodge
Pic[G]k up the beat and stop hogging the feast
That’s no w[F]ay to treat an enemy
Well mig[C]hty mighty appetite
we just eat ‘em up and keep on driving
Freedom [Am]can be freezing take a picture from the pretty side
[G]Mind your manners wave your banners
What a wonderful world that this[F] angle can see [G]
Chorus
[C]But who needs to see what w[G]e’ve done? [Am]
[F]Who needs please when[G] we’ve got guns? [C]
[C]Who needs keys when [G]we’ve got clubs?[Am]
[F]Who needs peace when[G] we’ve gone above [C]
[C]But beyond where we [G]should have gone? [Am]
[F]Beyond where we [G]should have gone [C]
[C]We went beyond where we sho[G]uld have gone [Am]
B[F]eyond where we shoul[G]d have gone [C]
