You can look a hurricane right in the eye
Twelve hundred people that are left to die
Follow the leaders, were it an eye
For an eye you'd all be blind
Death or 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 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 some where trading lives for oil
As if the whole world were blind

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

Come pull this sheet over my eyes
So I can sleep tonight
Despite what I've seen

I found you guilty of a crime
Of sleeping at a time
When you should have been wide awake

Wide awake!
Wide awake!
Wide awake!
Wide awake!
