Cannot 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
Wе must resist
Hey, we arе 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
Cannot see the stars
Don't know where we are
Got to stay wide awake
Cannot see the stars
Don't know where we are
Got to stay wide awake
We've got to stay wide awake
