Chris Cornell - Wide Awake lyrics
[Chris Cornell - Wide Awake lyrics]
You can a look a hurricane right in the eye
1200 people dead or left to die
Follow the leaders
Were it an eye for an eye we'd all be blind
Deaf or murdered
And this I'm sure in this uncertain time
So come pull the 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
I found you guilty of a crime of this I know
Wide awake! Wide awake! Wide
Awake! Wide awake! Yeah, yeah, yeah
1200 people dead or left to die
Follow the leaders
Were it an eye for an eye we'd all be blind
Deaf or murdered
And this I'm sure in this uncertain time
So come pull the 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
I found you guilty of a crime of this I know
Wide awake! Wide awake! Wide
Awake! Wide awake! Yeah, yeah, yeah
