CHRIS CORNELL - Wide Awake lyrics

rate me

You can a look a hurricane right in the eye

1200 people dead or left to die,

Follow the leaders, were it an eye for an eye we'd all be blind,

Deaf or murdered, and this I'm sure in this uncertain time.

So come pull the 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.

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, hey.

So come pull the 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 pull the 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

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