You can look a hurricane right in the eye

twelve hundred people dead

or left to die, follow the leaders

were it an eye for an eye

we'd all be blind

deaf or murdered this i'm sure

in this uncertain time

so come pull the sheet over my eyes

so I can sleep tonight

despite what I've seen today

I find you guilty of a crime

of sleeping at a time

when you should have been wide awake

Down on the road the world is floating by

The poor and undefended left behind

While you're somewhere trading lives for oil

As if the whole world were blind

so come pull the sheet over my eyes

so I can sleep tonight

despite what I've seen today

I find you guilty of a crime

of sleeping at a time

when you should have been wide awake

[guitar solo]

so come pull the sheet over my eyes

so I can sleep tonight

despite what I've seen today

I find you guilty of a crime

of sleeping at a time

when you should have been wide awake

wide awake

wide awake

wide awake

wide awake
