Wide Awake
Audioslave / Chris Cornell
You can look a hurricane right in the eye
Twelve hundred people dead or left to die
Follow the leaders
Were it an eye for an eye, we'd all be blind
Deaf or murdered, this I'm sure
In this uncertain time
So come put a sheet over my eyes
So I can sleep tonight
Despite what I've seen today
I found 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
So come put a sheet over my eyes
So I can sleep tonight
Despite what I've seen today
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!
