Wake The World Lyrics - Levellers

Been sitting in silence, safe inside four walls 

Trying to remember the moment when we changed the rules 

Do you take to your bed or do you take the cure? 

Been getting out of my head lately that's for sure 

So tell me when, oh, when 

Are we gonna wake the world? 

When, oh, when 

Are we gonna wake the world 

Are we gonna wake the world? 

So I took a look around to see who's still listening 

Found them swaddled in lies they find so comforting 

The electric eye will always tell you so 

Don't want the truth around me, no, I don't want to know 

So tell me when, oh, when 

Are we gonna wake the world? 

When, oh, when 

Are we gonna wake the world 

Are we gonna wake the world? 

You were right when you were young 

Could you ever see it all come undone 

You were brave when you were young 

Would you ever believe it could all come undone? 

Don't want to get to a place I don't recognize 

Where we've all bought the world, but left with second prize 

Dragged down by the words of a hollow song 

Left in a state of selfish Babylon 

So tell me when, oh, when 

Are we gonna wake the world? 

When, oh, when 

Are we gonna wake the world? 

When, oh, when 

Are we gonna wake the world 

Are we gonna wake the world?
