Wake the world

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, oh, when

Are we gonna wake the world?

When, oh, when

Are we gonna wake the world

Are we gonna wake the world?

So I took 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, oh, when

Are we gonna wake the world?

When, oh, when

Are we gonna wake the world

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?

Don't want to get to a place I don't recognize

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, oh, when

Are we gonna wake the world?

When, oh, when

Are we gonna wake the world?

When, oh, when

Are we gonna wake the world

Are we gonna wake the world?
