Wide Awake

See, we gotta realise we're the bulldozer and the meat grinder
Not the faith giver, not the saintly figure with a halo and white light
We're the dumb fuck, shit stained and blind drunk
Taking as we like

Chuck the waste right out the prm
Sick down mother's shoulders again
well, wouldn't you look at that
Hush, hush, let the guns sit there in the corner

We'll never notice all the maggots and their fly fathers
While the vultures still circle us overhead
And you can spend your time giving a fuck about who's screwed who
Whose tits gone grew, who loosed their load at the awards

Or, who won the latest find a talent, make them into nothing, success story
Or, you can wake up and realize this is just the ego
Fighting out through flesh and into stone and steel and oil
Us the diamond tooth society grits its gums
Throws the chum in the water and watches the beasts come

These people don't bleed
They're not the same as you and me
Cos they are half asleep
Sleeping livening a dream
And we are wide awake

Well see it's all gotta be for money
Self interest intersects with a lack of soul
And bleeds a trail of substance less
Gathers all you people together, that got to the:
"Tell me what to do please God" moment
Shows you the path to existence
Less of life, scatter it apart and gather up the shining bits
And everything will be alright, right?
Everything will be alright
But see my jackdaw's eyes, lit up as he turned blue jay
With the realization he's just gotta fly away
And ain't nobody can do shit about it
Well see my jackdaw's eyes, lit up as he turned blue jay
With the realization he's just gotta fly the fuck away
And ain't nobody can't do shit about it

These people don't bleed
They're not the same as you and me
Cos they are half asleep
Sleeping livening a dream
And we are wide awake
We are wide awake
We are wide awake
We are wide awake

These people don't bleed
They're not the same as you and me
Cos they are half asleep
Sleeping livening a dream
And we are wide awake
