I've been buried in the sand,
I've come down with no place to land
I don't need you to understand it's not what I had planned

All the hunger, all the yearning
With the lifeline, that you're burning
Poison lessons that you're learning
The road ahead is turning

[Chorus]
Suicidal education (wake up, wake up)
It got sold to our generation (wake up, wake up)
Wake up to the, manipulation (wake up, wake up)
Wake up to the situation (wake up, wake up)
Suicidal education (wake up)

Stick together, side by side
We no longer, need to hide
From the darkness, into the light
Now is your time

I need something to know the pain
Forget me and forget my name
Waited for the, time to arrive
No one gets out of here alive

[Chorus]

Wake up, wake up
Wake up, wake up
Wake up, wake up
Wake up, wake up
Wake up,
Wake up

I've been buried in the sand,
I've come down with no place to land
I don't need you to understand it's not what I had planned

Suicidal education
It got sold to our generation

Wake up to the, manipulation
Wake up to the, situation
Suicidal education

Suicidal education
It got sold to our generation
