Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You can look a hurricane right
In the eye
Twelve hundred people that are
Left to die
[Verse 2]
Follow the leaders, we're it an eye
For an eye, you'd all be blind
Therefore murder, this I'm sure
In this uncertain time
[Verse 3]
So come pull a sheet over my eyes
So I can sleep tonight
Despite what I've seen today
I find you guilty of the crime
Of sleepin' at a time
When you should have been wide awake
[Verse 4]
Down on the road, the world is
Floatin' by
The poor and undefended
Left behind
[Verse 5]
While you're somewhere tradin' lives for oil
As if the whole world were blind
Hey
[Verse 6]
So come, pull a sheet over my eyes
So I can sleep tonight
Despite what I've seen today
I find you guilty of the crime
Of sleepin' at a time
When you should have been wide awake
[Verse 7]
Come pull a sheet over my eyes
So I can sleep tonight
Despite what I've seen today
I find you guilty of the crime
Of sleepin' at a time
When you should have been wide awake
[Verse 8]
Wide awake
Wide awake
Wide awake
Wide awake
