WAKE UP

I’m running in the cold night
I can see the street light
The blue screens in the houses
The kids and the spouses
They think they’re cool
With their piece of grass and pool
This will drive me to distraction
Now’s the time to ask the big question

Wake up wake up wake up
We know what’s coming up
Time to act before
We drink the cup
Wake up wake up wake up
We know what’s coming up
Don’t drink the cup

I’m running in the cold night
Away from the safelight
The very sight of this neighborhood Brings me back to my childhood
Money makes them feel they’re safe
It’s the only thing they can face Hostages from the green bill
They’d be ready to kill

Refrain
cuuuuup.... / Bridge

I’m running in the cold night
Not a soul in sight
Big wheels shinny black cars
Sheltered from the crowbars
The gates are made of steel
They know the danger is real
Things can go wrong
The temptation is too strong

Wake up wake up wake up
We know what’s coming up
Time to act before
We drink the cup
Wake up wake up wake up
We know what’s coming up
Don’t drink the cup
