You can look a hurricane right in the eye

Twelve hundred people dead are left to die

Follow the leaders

Where it an eye for an eye you'd all be blind

Death or murder, this im sure

In this uncertain time

So come put a sheet over my eyes

So I can sleep tonight

This fire burns soon be dead

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 some where trading lives for oil

As if the whole world were blind

So come put a sheet over my eyes

So I can sleep tonight

Despite what I've seen tonight

I found you guilty of a crime

Of sleeping at a time

when you should have been wide awake

Come put this sheet over my eyes

So I can sleep tonight

Despite what I've seen

I found 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!!

Awake!
