wake up! lyrics

If I had a lighter in hand with some oily rags
Is that what it would take
To wake you from your sleep?
Woke up from your American dreams
To be surrounded, surrounded in flames

You've got to scream to make your voice heard
I won't stop screaming until mine is heard

Wake up! Wake up!
To the world around you
Wake up! Wake up!
To the world around you
Wake up! Wake up!
To the world around you
Wake up! Wake up!

If we blocked the streets everyday
Face down on the pavement as we lay
You're angered that you're five minutes late
What happens next time when we stop you all day?
Yeah, next time when we stop you all day?

You've got to scream to make your voice heard
And I won't stop screaming until mine is heard

Wake up! Wake up!
To the world around you
Wake up! Wake up!
To the world around you
Wake up! Wake up!
To the world around you
Wake up! Wake up!
To the world around you

It's the same song sung
Sung at the top of our lungs

Screaming for freedom and pleading for liberty
Screaming for freedom and pleading for liberty
Screaming for freedom and pleading for liberty
Freedom
