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

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)
