lyrics

Rip Van Winkle (lyrics P McMahon music C & P McMahon 1991)

You gotta wake up stop dreaming
Time is tight it's running out fast
If you take so much put back nothing
How long do you think it can last

What'll you do when it all comes down
What'll you do when it hits the ground
No one left tio pick up the pieces
What'll you do when the siren wails
What'll you do when the system fails
Shock Shock Wake it up

This aint no lullaby
This aint no sweet dream scenario
This aint no lullaby
You aint no Rip Van Winkle

Talkin about faith and freedom
The future's slipping though our hands
Talking bout a world overloaded
How much more abuse can it stand

What do you do when your conscience cries
How can you turn & close your eyes
Hope this nightmare fades away
How can you say that you're not to blame
How can you sleep when your bed's in flames
Shock Shock Wake it up

Gotta wake up start thinking
Take a hand in your owe fate
Talkin bout death by numbers
Pray to God it's not too late

There's too many people and not enough space
Too many heats in the human race
Not enough world to take the strain
What'll you do when there's no more air
Don't pretend that you don't care
Shock Shock Wake it up
