Johnny Hates Jazz - Wide Awake

Can not see the stars
Don't know where we are
But we're never far
From hysteria

People shout and scream
From a computer screen
Or hide reality
Behind a perfect dream

But when we close our eyes
We validate the lies
Do we so despise
Who we are inside?

Or do we simply miss
The beauty of a kiss?
Then tell it like it is
Clench your fist
We must resist

Hey, we are gonna bend until we break
Let's stay wide awake, wide awake
Hey, there is not much more that I can take
We've got to stay wide awake

Love has left the room
And we're in servitude
'Cause we must consume
For an economic boom

But when we close our eyes
We let the planet die
You know it just ain't right
Stand and fight
With all your might

Hey, we are gonna bend until we break
Let's stay wide awake, wide awake
Hey, there is not much more the World can take
We've got to stay wide awake

Can not see the stars
Don't know where we are
Got to stay wide awake

Can not see the stars
Don't know where we are
Got to stay wide awake

We've got to stay.... wide awake
