Wake Up

I hear the people saying
There is nothing behind that curtain
Just a man pulling levers and switches
Running through the poppy fields
We're trying to fool ourselves
An opiate for the masses

It's time to test those words
To see what's real or misleading
Rumors quickly die away
When they have no meaning
Are you going to live this way -
Asleep and dreaming?
You've slept for far too long
Wake up

I hear the people cursing loudly
Saying that it's just a rumor
Victims of some myth we're all trapped in
A puppet to the cruelest master
Watching all the innocent bleed
On his throne just letting it happen

It's time to test those words
To see what's real or misleading
Rumors quickly die away
When they have no meaning
Are you going to live this way -
Asleep and dreaming?
You've slept for far too long
Wake up

It's more than just your sunday morning
More than just a list of rules
Life is not an autopilot
That you can just set on cruise
If you want the answers
If you want the truth
You need to ask the questions
You've got nothing to lose

It's time to test those words
To see what's real or misleading
Rumors quickly die away
When they have no meaning
Are you going to live this way -
Asleep and dreaming?
You've slept for far too long
Wake up
