Everybody wake up If you're living with your eyes closed See the man with the bomb in his hand Everybody wake up Oh baby it's not easy sometimes They build these walls ever higher and hide behind them Seems an odd way to make things right Oh I feel crazy sometimes Our finest hour arrives See the pig dressed in his finest fine The believers stand behind him and smile Everybody wake up If you're living with your eyes closed See the man with the bomb in his hand Everybody wake up Remember the words of the misguided fool Do unto others as you'd have them do Not an eye for an eye as the golden rule Just leaves a room full of blind men Our finest hour arrives See the pig dressed in his finest fine The believers stand behind him and smile As the day lights up with fire Everybody wake up If you're living with your eyes closed See the man with the bomb in his hand Everybody wake up (repeat to fade)
