Wake Up -

They pack us tightly onto trains

Give us a number to replace our names

Work us 'til we’re skin and bones

Then bury us in our debts and loans

A TV in every home

Two cars and a telephone

We become what we own

Never felt so alone

Wake up, wake up

The truth is out there and it wants to be found

Wake up, wake up

And their lies will scatter all over the ground

They tell us what we need to fear

The dangers close, but the threats not clear

Could be a plague, a bomb, a flu

Or the person next to you

Wake up, wake up

The truth is out there and it wants to be found

Wake up, wake up

And their lies will scatter all over the ground

Well they bought us out and they bought us cheap

Then told us to go back to sleep

And it’s easier just to obey

Then face the fact that we live this way
