Wake The World Lyrics
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
Been getting out of my head lately that's for sure
So tell me when are we gonna wake the world
Take a look around to see who's still listening
Found them swaddled in 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
So tell me when are we gonna wake the world
You were right when you were young Could you ever see it all come undone You were brave when you were young Would you ever believe it could all come undone
So tell me when are we gonna wake the world
Don't want to get to a place I don't recognise
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
So tell me when are we gonna wake the world
Trying to remember the moment when we changed the rules
Do you take to your bed or do you take the cure
Been getting out of my head lately that's for sure
Found them swaddled in 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
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

Another activist pep song :) I think the "selfish babylon" is saying how people can't reach an agreement (like speaking different languages) and allow the world to go downhill without acting. Many believe the lies they hear and are too comfortable to do anything so we gotta do what we can to wake the world ;)
