The Wake
Spoken: My father says that almost the whole world is
asleep. Everybody you know, everybody you see, everybody you
talk to. He says that only a few people are awake, and they
live in a state of constant, total amazement.
Debbie dates daily with a boy for every finger
She leaves with one now and leaves another left to linger
Coldly Debbie tells me it's a world of give and take
But I say Debbie, bring it closer to the wake
In today's society, too little anxiety falls in the right
place
People hurting each other, no care for another
Can you stand your own face? Listen to me now…
People gotta stop hurting themselves, STOP, now, now, now,
now bring it closer to the wake
Billy blows bubbles that are filled with marijuana
To rebel from all the troubles he was chained to by his mama
Sadly Billy tells me that his happiness is fake
But I say Billy, bring it closer to the wake
In today's society, too little anxiety falls in the right
place
People hurting each other, no care for another
Can you stand your own face? Listen to me now…
People gotta stop hurting themselves, STOP, now, now, now,
now bring it closer to the wake
Jason jets his jag up to a speed that's past eleven
Jason buys a house that makes him feel like he's in heaven
Bill's been paying Jason, Bill's friends are Jason's take
(at least for now)
But I just talked to Bill, Jason's further from the wake,
bring it back...
In today's society, too little anxiety falls in the right
place
People hurting each other, no care for another
Can you stand your own face? Listen to me now…
People gotta stop hurting themselves, STOP, now, now, now,
now bring it closer to the wake
Now you and I have been through much, we've both had
Debbie's problem
And we've both used Bill's eyes to find our troubles and try
to solve them
But let's not use each other, for Jason's world was fake
Only we can work together and bring us closer to the wake
STOP, now, now, now, now bring it closer to the wake
Listen to me now, STOP, now, now, now, now bring it closer
to the wake
