Song lyrics Wide Awake by Chris Cornell

You can look a hurricane right in the eye
twelve hundred people dead
or left to die, follow the leaders
were it an eye for an eye
we'd all be blind
deaf or murdered this i'm sure
in this uncertain time

so come pull the 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 were blind

so come pull the 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
