[Chorus]

You got to wake up

You're in the presence of your future

Wake up, see what you're doing in our sleep

You got to wake up

You're in the presence of your future

Wake up, from the mistakes of the past

[Verse 1]

From time to time we come alive

But not for very long

See what shape the world is in

And wonder what went wrong

Never dreaming, not for a second

That sleeping is the cause

We make solutions in our sleep

It's dangerous for us all

[Chorus]

You got to wake up

You're in the presence of your future

Wake up, see what you're doing in our sleep

You got to wake up

You're in the presence of your future

Wake up, from the mistakes of the past

[Verse 2]

In our sleep, we live it up

Just to wake up and find our dead

Change our hair and hairstyles too

But have the same empty heads

Brothers and sisters I'm telling you

Now's all the time for us

This is what we've got to do

And we can have the lives we'd love?

[Pre-Chorus]

Wake up

You got to wake up

[Chorus]

You got to wake up

You're in the presence of your future

Wake up, see what you're doing in our sleep

You got to wake up

You're in the presence of your future

Wake up, from the mistakes of the past

[Verse 3]

In our sleep, we change our way

We change our suit of clothes

We change our church, we change our god

But have the same funky soul

Never dreaming, not for a second

Sleeping is the cause

We make solutions in our sleep

And it's dangerous for us all

[Pre-Chorus]

Wake up

You got to wake up
