Wake Up
You got to wake up!
Live in the presence of your future
Wake up!
See what were doing in our sleep
Youve got to wake up!
Live in the presence of your future
Wake up
Learn from the mistakes of the past
From time to time we come alive
but not for very long
See the shape the world is in
and wonder what went wrong
Never dreaming not for a second
sleeping is the cause
we make solutions in our sleep
its dangerous for us all
You got to wake up!
Live in the presence of your future
Wake up!
See what were doing in our sleep
Youve got to wake up!
Live in the presence of your future
Wake up
Learn from the mistakes of the past
In our sleep we live it up
Just to wake up find were dead
Change our hair and hairstyles too
but have the same empty heads
Brothers and sisters Im telling you
Nows all the time for us
This is what weve got to do
and we can have the lives wed love?
Youve got to wake up
Youve got to wake up
Oh, wake up (you got to doo doo de doo doo doo)
Youve got to wake up
(they dont have to man!)
Oh, wake up
Youve got to wake up
Oh, wake up
Youve got to wake up
You got to wake up!
Live in the presence of your future
Wake up!
See what were doing in our sleep
Youve got to wake up!
Live in the presence of your future
Wake up!
Learn from the mistakes of the past
In our sleep, we change our wife
We change our suit of clothes
We change our church, we change our god
But have the same funky soul
Never dreaming, not for a second
Sleeping is the cause
We make solutions in our sleep
and its dangerous for us all
Oh, wake up
Youve got to wake up
(repeat with scat until end)
