Wake Up Lyrics - Singles - Abrasive Wheels

Lying in my bed the thoughts are running through my head 

These pills are working and I'm wishing I was dead 

It's afternoon and the kids are home from school 

When I was young I thought that I'd be nobody's fool 

The summer of '76 was hot we spent the whole time drinking 

Listening to the Pistols and Ramones that's when I got to thinking 

I got a guitar and I started up a band 

Just another teenage waste, just another punk rock band 

Wake up, check it out, this is now, the 21st century 

Things never turned out how they planned, like they were meant to be 

Wake up, take a look, this is your, 21st century 

Everything is pay up on demand, in front of your TV 

Out of luck and out of work, I went and spent the giro drinking 

Bills ain't getting paid no more and I know this ship is sinking 

For what it's worth, I know I let you down 

I'm hanging on the best I can, like a dog about to drown. 

Wake up, check it out, this is now, the 21st century 

Things never turned out how they planned, like they were meant to be 

Wake up, take a look, this is your, 21st century 

Everything is pay up on demand, in front of your TV 

Times may have changed but the song plays the same 

and we all play our part in this mad masquerade 

These are the times... these are the times of our lives.
