wake up! lyrics

wake up!

wake up! and smell the coarse grind american roast

in your cup, peruse the news from coast to coast

don’t it suck to have that cloud overhead all day?

don’t you ever dream about some better way

to wake up?

sleepwalking in the shoes of your old man

double talking, gonna use every trick you can

get ‘em all lined up, get your ducks in a row

they’ll follow you down, how low can you go?

sleepwalking – just a sheep, sleepwalking

looking through a window of fear and tear-stained glass

at all the world, unclear and grey

it don’t take a prophet to know, this too shall pass

to see that only love has the power to stay

wake up!

come around to this one universal truth

get down to the loving we were born to do

it’s bound to hurt and we’re bound to die

but our love lives on in the by and by

so get down…   come around

cleaning windows is a lifelong task

a near constant battle to maintain

but that’s all right, now and again you can just sit back

and see clearly through each and every pane

you wake up!
