Wake the World Songtext
von Levellers

Been sitting in silence safe inside four walls
Trying to remember the moment when we changed the rules
Do you take to your bed or do you take the cure?
Getting out of my head lately, that′s for sure

When, oh when?
When, oh when?
When, oh when?
Are we gonna wake the world?

So I took a look around to see who's still listening
I found the swaddling lies they find so comforting
The electric eye will always tell you so
Don′t want the truth around me, no, I don't want to know


When, oh when?
When, oh when?
When, oh when?
Are we gonna wake the world?
Are we gonna wake the world?

You were right when you were young
Could you ever see it could all come undone?
You were brave when you were young
Would you ever believe it could all come undone?

I don't want to get to the place I don′t recognize
Where we′ve all bought the world but left with second prize
Dragged down by the words of a hollow song
Left in a state of selfish babylon

When, oh when?
When, oh when?
When, oh when?
Are we gonna wake the world?
Are we gonna wake the world?
Are we gonna wake the world?
