"Wake Up" lyrics

"Wake Up"

Baby it's time to wake up
Baby it's time to move
Things around here need a shake up
Maybe this time we'll groove

All around this sleepy town
Curtains drawn morale is down
We didn't see the shadows creep
With easy credit and CCTV

I heard somebody ran out
Somebody broke free
I hope they make it to tell them
We're suffocating and can't breathe
If only we stood up if only

Baby it's time to wake up
Question everything you see
Look behind every fake smile
Is it real or make believe

All around this fragile globe
Why do the young ask why when told
By instincts finding the resolve
In every clue a problem solved

I heard somebody broke out
Somebody set fire
They're burning Rome again
Will this house be home again
If only we stood up
If only we spoke out
If only we spoke out

Baby it's time to wake up
Baby it's time win or lose

Somebody broke out
Somebody ran free
I hope he makes it to tell them
We're suffocating and can't breathe
If only
Somebody ran out
Somebody broke free
Somebody ran out
Somebody stepped free

Somebody ran out
Somebody broke free
Somebody ran out
Somebody stepped free
Somebody ran out
Somebody broke free (Burning Rome again)
Somebody ran out (This house feels like home again)
Somebody stepped free (If only)
