[Verse 1] Don’t know what to say This is so messed up Every little warning Stacked like a bomb in a paper cup See the headlines bleed See the sirens flash Every quiet dinner Feels one match from turning to ash [Chorus] Wake up Wake up Before they write our names in stone Wake up Wake up While we can still tear down their thrones Everything bad is coming to a head Soon we may all be hanging by a thread If they get their way They’ll lock the gates Come on people Wake up before it’s too late [Verse 2] They smile on the screens While they drain us dry Selling us comfort Till we’re too numb to ask “why?” Kids learn how to hide Under classroom desks We send thoughts and prayers They send checks Then reset the chess [Chorus] Wake up Wake up Before they write our names in stone Wake up Wake up While we can still tear down their thrones Everything bad is coming to a head Soon we may all be hanging by a thread If they get their way They’ll lock the gates Come on people Wake up before it’s too late [Bridge] Is this the end of days Or the day we disobey? (hey!) Are we waiting for a savior Or becoming one today? [Chorus] Wake up Wake up Before they write our names in stone Wake up Wake up We are the ones We’re not alone Everything bad is coming to a head But we’re still here We’re not dead yet If they get their way They’ll seal our fate Come on people Wake up before it’s too late [Outro] Wake up Wake up (oh) Wake up Wake up
