Lyrics
Wake The World
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Been sitting in silence safe inside four walls
Trying to remember the moment when we changed the rules
Do you take to your bed or do you take the cure
Been getting out of my head lately that's for sure
So tell me when are we gonna wake the world
Take a look around to see who's still listening
Found them swaddled in lies they find so comforting
The electric eye will always tell you so Don't want the truth around me, no I don't want to know
So tell me when are we gonna wake the world
You were right when you were young Could you ever see it all come undone You were brave when you were young Would you ever believe it could all come undone
So tell me when are we gonna wake the world
Don't want to get to a place I don't recognise
Where we've all bought the world But left with second prize
Dragged down by the words of a hollow song
Left in a state of selfish babylon
So tell me when are we gonna wake the world
