Lyrics
If I had a lighter in hand
With some oily rags
Is that what it'd take
To wake you from your sleep?
Woke up to your American dreams
To be surrounded
Surrounded in flames!
You got to scream
To make your voice heard!
And I won't stop screaming
Until mine is heard!
Wake up! Wake up!
To the world around you
Wake up! Wake up!
To the world around you
Wake up! Wake up!
To the world around you
Wake up! Wake up!
And if we blocked the streets everyday
Face down on the pavement
As we lay
You're angered 'cause you're five minutes late
What happens next time
When we will stop you all day?
Yeah, next time
When we stop you all day
You got to scream
To make your voice heard!
And I won't stop screaming
Until mine is heard!
Wake up! Wake up!
To the world around you
Wake up! Wake up!
To the world around you
Wake up! Wake up!
To the world around you
Wake up! Wake up!
To the world around you
To the world around you
It's the same song, sung
We sing at the top of our lungs
Screaming for freedom
Pleading for liberty
Screaming for freedom
Pleading for liberty
Screaming for freedom
Pleading for liberty
Screaming for freedom
Pleading for liberty!
Screaming for freedom
Pleading for liberty!
Screaming for freedom
Pleading for liberty!
