Wake The World

Levellers


Been sitting in silence safe inside four walls 
Trying to remember the moment when we changed the rules 
Do you take to your bed or do you take the cure 
Been getting out of my head lately that's for sure 

So tell me when are we gonna wake the world 

Take a look around to see who's still listening 
Found them swaddled in lies they find so comforting 
The electric eye will always tell you so Don't want the truth around me, no I don't want to know 

So tell me when are we gonna wake the world 

You were right when you were young Could you ever see it all come undone You were brave when you were young Would you ever believe it could all come undone 

So tell me when are we gonna wake the world 

Don't want to get to a place I don't recognise 
Where we've all bought the world But left with second prize 
Dragged down by the words of a hollow song 
Left in a state of selfish babylon 

So tell me when are we gonna wake the world
