[verse] Mothers sweep your little lies Right before your children's eyes Fathers just ignore this new disease Tv raises children well Intravenous show and tell They're going down our steps on hands and knees You're sleeping the day away Wake up, wake up Acknowledge a brand new day [chorus] And you will shine (shine) Like the sun in the sky (you will shine) The stars burning bright in their eyes And you will shine (shine) Like the stars in their eyes (you will shine) The sun burning bright, you will shine [verse] Occupation alibis, the dollar is the great disguise All along the papers stained with tears And with your self-inflicted lies it's just ourselves we hypnotize And all your gold won't wash away the fear Stop sleeping your life away Wake up, wake up Acknowledge a brand new way [chorus 2x] [guitar solo] [chorus 3x]
