Who are these ones that want to rule the world
They've been awake for far too long
Their eyes are bloodshot and so is their mind
They just don't know right from wrong
We are being lead by the sleep-deprived
Hallucinate your speech
The stairs to success they are slow to climb
Their goals just out of reach

All the stars are fading and it's looking dim
Who will guide our path
Even the sheep have been looking grim
A new stone has to be cast
We keep digging in the same pile
So the outcome is the same
If only we were just a little wiser
We might just win the game

Who are we going to have to shake the world
It's in a deeper stagnation than we thought
Who are we going to have to make the world
Someone who just isn't or hasn't been bought

There was once a girl with the power to change
She didn't know it cause society killed the flame
But she dreamt of the things oh that she could do
But logic was instilled and felt her dream were out of view
Her dreams remained just that, fell in the daily grind
And if she took time off, would just fall behind
She just hoped and prayed to alleviate the strife
But what are just hopes and prayers
Without the action to change your life

We've been asleep for too long, our conscious hitting snooze
And what if we don't wake up, first in line to lose
They try to tell us things, convince us they make sense
Uncomfortable place to be is sitting on the fence

Who's putting you to sleep?
Who's tucking you into bed?
Who's shutting off your alarm?
Who wants to see you dead?

They say don't wake the dreamer
But that's what's wrong with the world
They say don't wake the dreamer
But that's what's wrong with the world
The dreamer's asleep
And they don't realize how much they keep
They say don't wake the dreamer
But that's what's wrong with the world
The dreamer's asleep
And you rule wars while they're counting sheep
They say don't wake the dreamer
But that's what's wrong with the world
The dreamer's asleep
Went to bed hungry that's why they weep

They say don't wake the dreamer
But that's what's wrong with the world
They say don't wake the dreamer
But that's what's wrong with the world
They say don't wake the dreamer
But that's what's wrong with the world
They say don't wake the dreamer
But that's what's wrong with the world
They say don't wake the dreamer
But that's what's wrong with the world
They say don't wake the dreamer
But that's what's wrong with the world
They say don't wake the dreamer
But that's what's wrong with the world
