The clock strikes midnight As the dream slips through your hands This is no dress rehearsal There is no second chance
You stare into the mirror Pour cool water on your face You're lookin' at a stranger And you feel so out of place
Sometimes I want to take you And shake you Out of this dream I'm talking to you Wake up, you little fool Wake up, you little fool
Now don't you ever wonder What it feels like to be free When you're starin' at a future That's not what it used to be
You're reaching for something you don't understand Trying to care but you don't give a damn You're at the controls but you're not in command And just growin' older don't make you a man
Wake up you little fool Wake up you little fool
(Solo)
Sometimes I want to take you And shake you Out of this dream I'm talking to you Wake up, you little fool Wake up, you little fool
Wake up you little fool You're reaching for something you don't understand Wake up you little fool Trying to care but you don't give a damn Wake up you little fool You're at the controls but you're not in command Oh, wake up you little fool Just growin' older don't make you a man Oh, wake up you little fool Wake up you little fool
