I’m not sober all the time You bring me down at least you try Until we see this eye to eye I don’t want you
I must be running out of luck Cause you’re just not drunk enough to fuck And now I’ve had it up to here I don’t, I don’t want you
It took so long to see You walked away from me When I need you Wake up I’m pounding on the door I’m not the man I was before Where the hell are you When I need you Wake up I’m pounding on the door I won’t hurt you anymore Where the hell are you When I need you
I’m not angry all the time You push me down at least you try Until we see this eye to eye I don’t want you
It took so long to see You walked away from me When I need you Wake up I’m pounding on the door I’m not the man I was before Where the hell are you When I need you Wake up I’m pounding on the door I won’t hurt you anymore Where the hell are you When I need you
It took so long to see You walked away from me When I need you
Wake up I’m pounding on the door I’m not the man I was before Where the hell are you When I need you Wake up I’m pounding on the door I won’t hurt you anymore Where the hell are you When I need you
[Verse 1:] You used to be my closest ally In this cold cold world of deception and lies We would defend and protect one another Now I can′t tell if we′re enemies or lovers
[Bridge:] So who′s gonna rescue us from ourselves
[Hook:] When we gonna wake up baby? When it′s time for lovin′ When we gonna wake up my baby? Before it′s too late?
[Verse 2:] Oh, baby, where did we go wrong, baby? Did this cold, cold world turn us into stone? Now all I battle is your ego and your pride It′s ticking like a time bomb, ready too ignite Hurtin′ me to fight
[Bridge:] Who′s gonna rescue us from ourselves
[Hook2:] When we gonna wake up baby? It′s time for lovin′ When it′s time for lovin′ Before it′s too late?
[Bridge:] When the smoke clears What will be left for us but tears and pain Why must we argue over the same things Just to make up and go back again It′s never too late But it′s been too long Can′t get it right when no one thinks they′re wrong Gotta get out of bed And take a look at what′s going on
I just got back from hell Skin blistered bruised up. Couldn′t you tell? Eyes still burning because I′ve been a witness to this fucked up thing the world′s become Dollar sign motives in every command The south still starving from past hurricanes Kids taking pills just to help them fit in Newspaper wars on television
I could care less about... I could care less about it Wake up world.
Cut loose criminals roaming the streets Offering little kids candy to eat While mommy watches tv on the edge of her couch With daddy right beside her stuffin his fuckin mouth!
Money hungry assholes making decisions For poor people without their permission God help us all. We need the answers to the questions We never get answered at home.
I could care less about... I could care less about it Wake up world.
Oh, oh Can you take care of her Oh, oh Maybe you can spare her Several moments Of your consideration Leading up To the final destination Oh, oh The Earth is calling out I wanna learn What it′s all about

Jump all you can And you got out your right foot The sooner you get out In your hide away I might be left dead Side of the road Serves a place and time
I plan on never waking up [2x]
Jump all you can And you got out your right foot The sooner you get out In your hide away I might be left dead Get out the way Serves a place and time
you crawled inside of me you wanted everything you took from me you walked away from me you fucking talk to me so now i′m drunk and i′m miserable and i like it, oh yeah hooked on junk and i′m pitiful and i like it, oh yeah

It′s okay in the day I′m staying busy Tied up enough so I don′t have to wonder where is he Got so sick of crying So just lately When I catch myself I do a 180 I stay up clean the house At least I′m not drinking Run around just so I don′t have to think about thinking That silent sense of content That everyone gets Just disappears soon as the sun sets
This face in my dreams seizes my guts He floods me with dread Soaked in soul He swims in my eyes by the bed Pour myself over him Moon spilling in And I wake up alone
If I was my heart I′d rather be restless The second I stop the sleep catches up and I′m breathless This ache in my chest As my day is done now The dark covers me and I cannot run now My blood running cold I stand before him It′s all I can do to assure him When he comes to me I drip for him tonight Drowning in me we bathe under blue light
His face in my dreams seizes my guts He floods me with dread Soaked in soul He swims in my eyes by the bed Pour myself over him Moon spilling in And I wake up alone And I wake up alone And I wake up alone And I wake up alone
I didn′t hear what you were saying. I live on raw emotion baby I answer questions never maybe And I′m not kind if you betray me. So who the hell are you to save me I never would have made it babe.
[Bridge]
If you needed love Well then ask for love Could have given love Now I’m taking love And it’s not my fault Coz you both deserve What is coming now? So don’t say a word
[Chorus]
Wake up call Caught you in the morning with another one in my bed Don′t you care about me anymore? You care about me? I don′t think so. Six foot tall Came without a warning so I had to shoot him dead He won′t come around here anymore Come around here? I don′t think so.
[Breakdown]
Would have bled to make you happy You didn′t need to treat me that way And now you beat me at my own game And now I′m finally sleeping soundly And your lover′s screaming loudly I hear a sound and hit the ground
[Bridge]
If you needed love Well then ask for love Could have given love Now I’m taking love And it’s not my fault Coz you both deserve What is coming now? So don’t say a word
[Chorus]
Wake up call Caught you in the morning with another one in my bed Don′t you care about me anymore? You care about me? I don′t think so. Six foot tall Came without a warning so I had to shoot him dead He won′t come around here anymore Come around here? I don’t feel so bad, I don’t feel so bad, I don’t feel so bad
[Breakdown]
I′m so sorry darling Did I do the wrong thing? Oh, what was I thinking? Is his heart still beating?
Woah oh ohh
[Chorus]
Wake up call Caught you in the morning with another one in my bed Don′t you care about me anymore? You care about me? I don′t think so. Six foot tall Came without a warning so I had to shoot him dead He won′t come around here anymore Come around here? I don’t feel so bad
Wake up call Caught you in the morning with another one in my bed Don’t you care about me anymore? You care about me? I don’t think so. Six foot tall Came without a warning so I had to shoot him dead He won’t come around here anymore No, he won’t come around here. I don’t feel so bad
I don’t feel so bad (Wake up call) I don’t feel so bad (Caught you in the morning with another one in my bed) I don’t feel so bad (Don’t you care about me anymore?) Care about me? I don’t feel so bad. Wake up call Caught you in the morning with another one in my bed Don′t you care about me anymore?
The nation lost and dying Searching for You Creation waits Children with the word of God Written on their hearts Show love to the world
We need to wake up, wake up Live like God Pour out love We need to wake up, wake up Live like God Pour out love
I know it’s sad That the gift we have We keep it for ourselves Most of the time The world is looking For a love that’s locked up Inside these four walls Break the door down and shine
Our face is set Our goal is heaven Jesus, You are the well of love We’ll pour You out We’ll pour You out
There′s people talking They talk about me They know my name They think they know everything
But they don′t know anything About me
Give me a dance floor Give me a DJ Play me a record Forget what they say
′Cause I need to go Need to get away tonight
I put my makeup On a Saturday night I try to make it happen Try to make it all right
I know I make mistakes I′m living life day to day It′s never really easy But it′s ok
Wake up! Wake up! On a Saturday night Could be New York Maybe Hollywood and Vine
London, Paris Maybe Tokyo There′s something going on Anywhere I go tonight Tonight, yeah tonight
The city′s restless It′s all around me People in motion Sick of all the same routines
And they need to go They need to get away tonight
I put my makeup On a Saturday night I try to make it happen Try to make it all right
I know I make mistakes I′m living life day to day It′s never really easy But it′s ok
Wake up! Wake up! On a Saturday night Could be New York Maybe Hollywood and Vine
London, Paris Maybe Tokyo There′s something going on Anywhere I go tonight Tonight, yeah tonight
People all around you Everywhere that you go People all around you They don′t really know you
Everybody′s watching Like it′s some kind of show Everybody′s watching They don′t really know you now (They don′t really know you) (They don′t really know you) And forever
Wake up! Wake up! (Wake up, wake up) Wake up! Wake up! (Wake up, wake up)
Wake up! Wake up! On a Saturday night Could be New York Maybe Hollywood and Vine
London, Paris Maybe Tokyo There′s something going on Anywhere I go
Wake up! Wake up! On a Saturday night Could be New York Maybe Hollywood and Vine
London, Paris Maybe Tokyo There′s something going on Anywhere I go tonight Tonight, yeah tonight (Wake up, wake up)
Salvation′s on the way I caught the last flight headed for outer space My ticket′s all arranged And if I left you there Well that was my mistake Baby′s got the blues Think that I′ll write it all down There′s nothing I could do In order to save myself I had to cut you loose
Race across the universe That separates the space between us All your ghosts are calling at the speed of light I cannot feel All the ghosts are calling, get no answer Wake up and say goodbye
Lost you on the wind And as those memories died, still I can′t let you in We all start to fade Somehow still radiate Baby′s got the blues I tried to write it all down There′s nothing I could do In order to save yourself You had to cut me loose
Race across the universe That separates the space between us All your ghosts are calling at the speed of light I cannot feel All the ghosts are calling, get no answer Wake up and say goodbye
Race across the universe That separates the space between us All your ghosts are calling at the speed of light I cannot feel All the ghosts are calling, get no answer Wake up and say goodbye
Race across the universe That separates the space between us (Wake up and say goodbye) All your ghosts are calling at the speed of light I cannot feel (Wake up and say goodbye) All the ghosts are calling, get no answer Wake up and say goodbye
You like snow but only if it′s warm You like rain but only if it′s dry No sentimental value to the rose that fell on your floor No fundamental excuse for the granted I′m taken for
′Cause it′s easy not to So much easier not to And what goes around never comes around to you
You like pain but only if it doesn′t hurt too much You sit... and you wait... to receive There′s an obvious attraction To the path of least resistance in your life There′s an obvious aversion no amount of my insistence Could make you try tonight
′Cause it′s easy not to So much easier not to And what goes around never comes around to you To you to you to you to you to you... There′s no love no money no thrill anymore
There′s an apprehensive naked little trembling boy With his head in his hands There′s an underestimated and impatient little girl Raising her hand
But it′s easy not to So much easier not to And what goes around never comes around to you To you, to you
Get up get up get up off of it Get up get up get up off of it Get out get outta here enough already Get up get up get up off of it Wake up
Jesus Jesus help me I′m alone in this world And a fucked up world it is too Tell me Tell me the story The one about eternity And the way it′s all gonna be Wake up Wake up dead man Wake up Wake up dead man
Jesus I′m waiting here boss I know you′re looking out for us But maybe your hands aren′t free Your Father He made the world in seven He′s in charge of heaven Will you put a word in for me
Wake up Wake up dead man Wake up Wake up dead man
Listen to your words They′ll tell you what to do Listen over the rhythm that′s confusing you Listen to the reed in the saxophone Listen over the hum of the radio Listen over the sounds of blades in rotation Listen through the traffic and circulation Listen as hope and peace try to rhyme Listen over marching bands playing out their time
Wake up Wake up dead man Wake up Wake up dead man
Jesus Were you just around the corner? Did you think to try and warn her? Or are you working on something new? If there′s and order In all of this disorder Is it like a tape recorder? Can we rewind it just once more
I rest my head Between the bed and sky Download my dread Disarm my mind, make it dry Nothing in motion, and I′m satisfied No disappointment, until I wake up Don′t want to wake up Into clear space Vivid vision, see her shape At my bedside, beam up my mind please
We′re lost, your mind was on the road Your call, maybe itґs time to go Claim back, what is mine Same track, I′m losing time Take in the rules of game Sinking it′s time to make a change
Wake up
And now I see what i never saw before You gotta wake up baby And now I feel what i never felt before You gotta wake up baby
Wake up
I′ll wait but can you see what′s wrong Like you I feel into the problem Had faith, that everything′s ok I don′t believe what you say Turn it, turn it all around Learn it starting from the ground
Wake up
And now I see what i never saw before You gotta wake up baby And now I feel what i never felt before You gotta wake up baby And now I′ve stayed Where i never stayed before You gotta wake up baby And now i′ve gone Where i never went before So wake up, wake up baby Wake up
You turn it around. There′s something safe in the way you say, You don′t like the sound of that again. I could be wrong, but there′s a chance this little dance, It won′t last too long again. All you are is all I need.
[Chorus]
Call me when you wake up. And I will be the one to bring you home again, I′ll bring you home again. And I always tried to see the best in you Though I see the other side I see the other side.
[Verse 2]
I watched you fall. Now I′m afraid that there′s just no time left at all. We′re both run aways, we made some big mistakes. And I just wanna fix this. I wanna fix this. I wanna fix this now. Can we fix this now? All you are is all I need. And all you want is all you′ll be.
[Chorus]
Call me when you wake up. And I will be the one to bring you home again, I′ll bring you home again. And I always tried to see the best in you, Though I see the other side. I see the other side.
[Verse 3]
This isn′t what you said I′d become. When I left everything where it was. But, I′m still hanging on to belief that you′re gonna change. You′re gonna change your ways. Can you change your ways? Can you change your ways?
Before it′s too late I wanna forgive you. Before it′s too late I wanna forgive you. Before it′s too late, before it′s too late. But it′s too late what if it gets too late?
[Chorus]
Call me when you wake up. And I will be the one to bring you home again, I′ll bring you home again. And I always tried to see the best in you. Though I see the other side. I tried, I tried and I tried. Though I see the other side.
Well, why do i keep pulling out the roots in my hair? Im picking at my face, its obvious theres nothing there What do keep at the edge of my skin? It feels so good to have a taste of what im crawling in. I got to go, i got to leave The waves are changed today I′m pulling me even though i go with hip-hop, today, its taking to your next game
[Chorus:] Wake up, wake up Wake up, wake up Cuz I′ll be leaving you today now Shake up, shake up, dont breakup breakup Take your lips off mine Who could see these words are swinging? Wake Up, Wake up, Wake up, Wake up,
[Verse 2:] What did you keep comming out 2 sides of your mouth? You did′nt think i had hit my people on how your selling out What did you think making your decision im dumb Manipulative, Calculative, and a pet, you thought i didn′t know i couldnt see, The spade and plain plan for using me like the picture you counterfiet its time to say good-night, its not a reason to say Good-bye, good-bye, Buhbye
[Chorus] Wake up, wake up Wake up, wake up Cuz I′ll be leaving you today now Shake up, shake up, dont breakup breakup Take your lips off mine Who could see these words are swinging? Wake Up, Wake up, Wake up, Wake up, [Guitar]
The Cofee is brewing now... As for me pouring out Eyes open now I see, All that you take from me!
[Guitar]
[Chorus] Wake up, wake up Wake up, wake up Cuz I′ll be leaving you today now Shake up, shake up, dont breakup breakup Take your lips off mine Who could see these words are swinging? Wake Up, Wake up, Wake up, Wake up, [fades out]
We are alive for a moment One second in the great abyss of time All the bleeding and all the hate Just one blink of an eye All the conflict visits dire pain on human life Are we missing what it is to be alive?
One by one the pieces fall Until our pride defeats us all Or we learn to live without it
WAKE UP - to the sound of this time bomb WAKE UP - to it′s deafening song WAKE UP - cause you don′t know what you′ve got Until it′s gone
Our innocence is a virtue But our arrogance will only leave us blind, unattended Without anyone to save our idle lives Will we find out That everything we know exists inside Of a fraction of a fraction
And one by one the pieces fall again
WAKE UP - to the sound of this time bomb WAKE UP - to it′s deafening song WAKE UP - cause you don′t know what you′ve got Until it′s gone
One by one the pieces fall Until our pride defeats us all
WAKE UP - to the sound of this time bomb WAKE UP - to it′s deafening song WAKE UP - cause you don′t know what you′ve got Until it′s gone
