Wake Up America
2000 Greg Matwijiszyn, Jimmy Williams, Ed Grande

Tell me you love your freedom, but you're too scared to use it
Opportunity arises to speak your mind, but you refuse it
A mockery of democracy

Wake up, wake up America.
Wake up, wake up America.

Corporate dictatorship propped up by inaction and stasis
Democrats Republicans - one moneyed monolith betrays us
A mockery of democracy

Wake up, wake up America.
Wake up, wake up America.

Results are in doesn't matter who'll win
For four more years the gullible cheer
Handing over power to one more liar who's
Promising to fix an unfixable system
Don't hold your breath

Betray your conscience as you choose the lesser of two evils
You pull the lever, pull the trigger, blow away your free will
The death-knell of democracy

Wake up, wake up America.
Wake up, wake up America.
