Lyrics

They say we don't know how to work hard anymore
Call us snowflakes but it's their hearts that are cold
Like it's easy to get a house and to get a degree
While they're walking past their own kids in the streets
They don't know how to love us anymore
Turn their backs on the desperate and the poor
Cause it's easy to blame those who are in need
While they're sitting with open palms at their feet
Everyday we
Wake up and we go to work
Fall asleep and then work again
Are we gonna pretend?
Wake up and we go to work
Fall asleep and then work again
Are we gonna pretend?
A teacher, a nurse a student working three jobs to make ends meet
Parents lying awake wondering what their children will eat
If you sacrifice enough you'll reach your dreams or so it seems
Sell your soul you might succeed
Wake up and we go to work
Fall asleep and then work again
Are we gonna pretend? (That this makes us content)
Wake up and we go to work
Fall asleep and then work again
Are we gonna pretend? (That this makes us content)
Wake up won't you wake up
Wake up won't you wake up
Wake up and we go to work
Fall asleep and then work again
Are we gonna pretend? (That this makes us content)
Wake up and we go to work
Fall asleep and then work again
Are we gonna pretend? (That this makes us content)
Wake up won't you wake up
Wake up won't you wake up
Wake up won't you wake up
