Audioslave Wide Awake Lyrics

Wide Awake Lyrics

You can look a hurricane right in the eye

1200 people dead or left to die

Follow the leaders, we're in an eye for an eye, we'll all be blind

Death for murder, this I'm sure in this uncertain time



So come and pull the sheet over my eyes

So I can sleep tonight despite what I've seen today

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 somewhere trading lives for oil

As if the whole world were blind, hey



So come and pull the sheet over my eyes

So I can sleep tonight despite what I've seen today

I find you guilty of a crime of sleeping at a time

When you should have been wide awake



Come, pull the sheet over my eyes

So I can sleep tonight despite what I've seen today

I find 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
