"2 x 4" lyrics

Come away from the window
Come away from the rain
Don't let them know we know who they are
They're killing night and day

Pull the kids from the window
And cover their eyes
We'll separate today from tomorrow
From a block away you hear the deafening crack
That 2 x 4 just split their world in half

Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
Can you hear the crack of that 2 x 4
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
Can you hear the crack of that 2 x 4

Just pretend that you're sleeping
If it saves your life
We'll spend the days living in the shadows
Keep the killer from our door

Just like in the movies
When you see one fall
Just like a bloody bag of meat
And you don't ever breathe a word at all
You just watch a policeman laugh and take a call

Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
Can you hear the crack of that 2 x 4
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
Can you hear the crack of that 2 x 4

Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
Can you hear the crack of that 2 x 4
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
Can you hear the crack of that 2 x 4
