You got to wake up! |
|
Live in the presence of your future |
|
Wake up! |
|
See what we're doing in our sleep |
|
You've 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 |
|
it's dangerous for us all |
|
You got to wake up! |
|
Live in the presence of your future |
|
Wake up! |
|
See what we're doing in our sleep |
|
You've 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 we're dead |
|
Change our hair and hairstyles too |
|
but have the same empty heads |
|
Brothers and sisters I'm telling you |
|
Now's all the time for us |
|
This is what we've got to do |
|
and we can have the lives we'd love? |
|
You've got to wake up |
|
You've got to wake up |
|
Oh, wake up (you got to doo doo de doo doo doo) |
|
You've got to wake up |
|
(they don't have to man!) |
|
Oh, wake up |
|
You've got to wake up |
|
Oh, wake up |
|
You've got to wake up |
|
You got to wake up! |
|
Live in the presence of your future |
|
Wake up! |
|
See what we're doing in our sleep |
|
You've 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 it's dangerous for us all |
|
Oh, wake up |
|
You've got to wake up |
|
(repeat with scat until end) |
