XTC - Wake Up! lyrics

rate me

You put your cleanest dirty shirt on

Then you stagger down to meet the dawn

You take a ride upon a bus, it's just a fuss

You know it keeps you born

You get to know a morning face

You get to join the human race

You get to know the world

Has passed you by

Who cares? You might be dead

Who cares? You stayed in bed

Who cares? You wrote the note

Who cares? You might have spoke

Wake up!

You take a snack to fill the gap

And then you're ready for another shift

Your attention was diverted

By the girl who smiled and made the lift

The radio is blaring out

It's in one ear and then it's out

You didn't notice that the record's over

Who cares? You might be dead

Who cares? You stayed in bed

Who cares? You wrote the note

Who cares? You might have spoke

Wake up!

In the road a crowd had gathered

And a man was close to dead

The blood is running down the gutter

While you're yawning, nothing's said

His body's wriggling like an eel

They got no sense, no touch, no feel

Somebody better go and get a blanket

Who cares? You might be dead

Who cares? You stayed in bed

Who cares? You wrote the note

Who cares? You might have spoke

Who cares?
