Audioslave - Wide Awake lyrics

You can a look a hurricane right in the eye

1200 people dead or left to die

Follow the leaders, we're in an eye for an eye we'll all be blind

Death for murder and this I'm sure in this uncertain time

So come pull the sheet over my eyes

So I can sleep tonight

Despite what I've seen today

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 somewhere trading lives for oil

As if the whole world were blind, hey

So come pull the sheet over my eyes

So I can sleep tonight

Despite what I've seen today

I find you guilty of a crime of sleeping at a time

When you should have been wide awake

Come pull the sheet over my eyes

So I can sleep tonight

Despite what I've seen today

I find 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!
