Twelve hundred people dead or left to die
Follow the leaders
Were it an eye for an eye
We'd all be blind, deaf or murdered
This I'm sure
In this uncertain time
So come pull a sheet over my eyes
So I can sleep tonight
Despite what I've seen today
I find you guilty of the 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 somewhere trading lives for oil
As if the whole world were blind
So come pull a sheet over my eyes
So I can sleep tonight
Despite what I've seen today
I've found you guilty of the crime
Of sleeping (at a) time
When you should have been wide awake
Come pull this sheet over my eyes
So I can sleep tonight
Despite what I've seen
I found you guilty of the crime
Of sleeping in a time
When you should have been wide awake
Wide Awake
Wide Awake
Wide Awake
Wide Awake
Awake
You can look a hurricane right in the eye Twelve hundred people dead or left to die Follow the leaders Were it an eye for an eye We'd all be blind, deaf or murdered This I'm sure In this uncertain time So come pull a sheet over my eyes So I can sleep tonight Despite what I've seen today I find you guilty of the 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 somewhere trading lives for oil As if the whole world were blind So come pull a sheet over my eyes So I can sleep tonight Despite what I've seen today I've found you guilty of the crime Of sleeping (at a) time When you should have been wide awake Come pull this sheet over my eyes So I can sleep tonight Despite what I've seen I found you guilty of the crime Of sleeping in a time When you should have been wide awake Wide Awake Wide Awake Wide Awake Wide Awake Awake Explain Request ×
