If I had a lighter in hands
And some oily rags..
Is that what it would take
To wake you from your sleep?
To wake up from your
American dreams
To be surrounded,
Surrounded in flames!
You got to SCREAM TO MAKE OUR VOICE HEARD!
I WONT STOP SCREAMING TILL MINE IS HEARD!
WAKE UP! Wake up!
To the world around you
WAKE UP! Wake up!
To the world around you
WAKE UP! Wake up!
To the world around you
Wake up! Wake up!
If we blocked the streets everyday.
Face down on the pavement as we lay.
You're angered that you're five minutes late.
But what happens next time
When we will stop you
All day?
You got to SCREAM TO MAKE OUR VOICE HEARD!
I WONT STOP SCREAMING TILL MINE IS HEARD!
WAKE UP! Wake up!
To the world around you
WAKE UP! Wake up!
To the world around you
WAKE UP! Wake up!
To the world around you
Wake up! Wake up!
And it's the same song, sung at the top of our lungs.
SCREAMING FOR FREEDOM, PLEADING FOR LIBERTY.
