Wide Awake (track 10 from Revelations LP by Audioslave )
You can look a hurricane right in the eye
Twelve hundred people dead, or left to die
Follow the leaders
Were it an eye for an eye, we’d all be blind, deaf or murdered
Of this I’m sure in this uncertain time
Come pull a sheet over my eyes so I can sleep tonight, despite what I’ve seen today
I find you guilty of the 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 you’re somewhere trading lives for oil as if the whole world were blind
Come pull a sheet over my eyes so I can sleep tonight, despite what I’ve seen today
I’ve found you guilty of the crime of sleeping at a time when you should have been wide awake
