If Hope Dies

If Hope Dies - Roddy Pipers' Magic Sunglasses lyrics

wake up from the slumber that

you've been forced into

climb out from the depths of sleep

to the waking world

asleep with your eyes wide open

we stumble from place to place

lulled into compliance

from the whispers in our ears

well it's time to rise up from our beds

we've sensed that something's wrong

but with eyes closed tight it's hard to see

just what it is that sedates us

and keeps us from being free

we've been programmed

to fall into place

the rank and file members

of a catatonic state

washed away

and drowning

in this

mainstream

feed the need

that burns inside you

this desire

cannot be satisfied

this consumption consumes

our very being

this consumption consumes

you

once we finally wake up

we will see that

the emperor has no clothes

or skin upon his face

demolish all the signs

that hang over our heads

burn down everything

that bears their messages

end your consumption

of shallow offerings

shake off the effects

of this sleep

wake up
