Wake me up when you are over 'Cause I don't want to hear you say That you've got worries on your shoulder Well, I'd love to say they'll up and go away
I know that you ain't cryin' But that don't mean that you don't feel Deep inside you might be dying That may be the only thing that's ever real
It's a reach around jerk in a button-down shirt Talking sweet to keep all the little people happy When the talk is cheap, the shit gets deep Better face reality that everybody's had a bad day or two
They don't treat you like the way you think they should You lick your bitter wounds And you turn and blame the government establishment Hide your head so no one sees you when you're down
Wake me up when you are over Let me know how long it took If you ever need my sympathy Honey, here's how deep you're gonna have to look
I know when you get older You'll learn the art of how to please But right now you're just getting colder And my love is gonna bring you to your knees
It's a reach around jerk in a button-down shirt Talking sweet to keep all the little people happy When the talk is cheap, the shit gets deep Better face reality that everybody's had a bad day or two
They don't treat you like the way you think they should So you lick your bitter wounds And you turn and blame the government establishment Hide your head so no one sees you when you're down
If you need me, I am able And if you need me, I'll be here But when you reach across the table Honey, you won't find me shedding any tears
