You can look a hurricane right in the eye
Twelve hundred people there are left to die
Follow the leaders, where it an night
For an eye you'd all be blind
Therefore murder--this I'm sure
In this uncertain time

So come pull a sheet over my eyes
So I can sleep tonight
Despite what I've seen today
I find you guilty of the 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, hey

So come pull a sheet around my eyes
So I can sleep tonight
Despite what I've seen today
I find you guilty of the crime
Of sleeping at a time
When you should have been wide awake

So come pull a sheet over my eyes
So I can sleep tonight
Despite what I've seen today
I find you guilty of the crime
Of sleeping at a time
When you should have been wide awake

Wide awake
Wide awake
Wide awake
Wide awake
