Alternatives for this artist

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

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