You can look a hurricane right in the eye
Twelve hundred people dead are left to die
Follow the leaders
Where it an eye for an eye you'd all be blind
Death or murder, this im sure
In this uncertain time

So come put a sheet over my eyes
So I can sleep tonight
This fire burns soon be dead
I find you guilty of a crime
Of sleeping at a time when you
should have been wide awake

Down on the road the world is floating by
The poor and undefended left behind
While you're some where trading lives for oil
As if the whole world were blind

So come put a sheet over my eyes
So I can sleep tonight
Despite what I've seen tonight
I found you guilty of a crime
Of sleeping at a time
when you should have been wide awake

Come put this sheet over my eyes
So I can sleep tonight
Despite what I've seen

I found you guilty of a crime
Of sleeping at a time
When you should have been wide awake

Wide Awake!!
Wide Awake!!
Wide Awake!!
Wide Awake!!
Awake!
