Sleep Through The Static Lyrics - Sleep Through The Static - Jack Johnson

Trouble travels fast 

When you're specially designed for crash testin' 

Or wearin' wool sunglasses in the afternoon 

Come on and tell us what you're tryin' to prove 

Cos it's a battle when you dabble in war 

You store it up, unleash it, then you piece it together 

Whether 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 

and abuse them and choose them 

Over conversations, relationships are overrated 

"I hated everyone" said the Sun

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

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 burnin' beds 

Or you can sleep through the static 

But 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've gone 

We went beyond where we should've 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 

Photos 

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 brut force-feed the truth 

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 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 

We went beyond where we should have gone
