if i had a lighter in hand and some oily rags...
is that what it would take to wake you from your sleep?
to wake up from your american dreams
to be surrounded in flames
you got to scream to make your voice heard
and i won't stop screaming til mine is heard
wake up wake up to the world around you
wake up wake up
if we blocked the streets everyday
face down on the pavement as we lay
you're angered that you're five minutes late
but what happens next time when we stop you all day?
yeah next time, we stop you all day
you got to scream to make your voice heard
and i won't stop screaming til mine is heard
wake up wake up to the world around you
wake up wake up
and its the same sad song sung at the top of our lungs
screaming for freedom, pleading for liberty (x4)
