Lyrics

You can look a hurricane right in the eye
Twelve hundred people dead or left to die
Follow the leaders with an eye
For an eye you'd all be blind
Deaf or murdered, of this im sure
In this unsettled time

So come pull a sheet over my eyes
So I can sleep tonight
Despite what I've seen today
I find 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 your somewhere trading lives for oil
As if the whole world were blind

So come pull a 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

Come put a sheet over my eyes
So I can sleep tonight
Despite what I've seen today

I find you guilty of a crime
Of sleeping at a time
When you should have been wide awake

Wide awake!!
Wide awake!!
Wide awake!!
Wide awake!!
