Wake Up (and Smell The Facism) Lyrics - Ten Foot Pole

I was the kid with the backpack full of revolution 

Listing the crimes like genocide, slavery and 

mass polution 

With footnotes and documentation 

So I could argue with confidence at hockey rinks 

and bars 

Alone against the relentless machine in mercy 

I put myself to sleep 

Yeah I'm ashamed, I put myself to sleep 

Wanna change the world WAKE UP 

Wanna make a difference WAKE UP 

Wanna save the world 

Wanna change the human natured 

Wake up and smell the facism 

What with it take to wake you from contented slumber? 

Will you notice a jet crashing through your building? 

Did you notice so many hate us? 

Do you doubt they have just cause? 

Do you see lies falling from mouths of politicians 

like turds filling a litterbox, they scratch 

but each new movement pushes up an old lie 

One world, one voice, one currency, 

One dream, one cause, one emperor, 

One boss, one king, one dictator 

Can you sleep through this? 

Why do you think all empires fall?
