Wide Awake (dedicated to the victims of hurricane Katrina)
You can look a hurricane right in the eye Twelve-hundred people dead All left to die, follow the leaders Were in an eye for an eye We'd all be blind Deaf or murdered, 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 find 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
So come pull the sheet over my eyes So I can sleep tonight Despite what I've seen today I find you guilty of a crime Of sleeping at a time When you should have been wide awake
