Lyrics for Wide Awake - Recorded Live At Sixth & I Historic Synagogue, Washington, DC on April 17, 2011

You can look a hurricane right, in the eye Twelve hundred people that are, left to die Follow the leaders, were it an eye For an eye we'd all blind Deaf of murdered, of this I'm sure In this unsettled time So come pull a 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 was blind So come pull a 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 So come pull a 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
