Wake Up! Lyrics - The Big Express - Xtc

You put your cleanest dirty shirt on 

Then you stagger down to meet the dawn 

You take a ride upon a bus, it's just a fuss 

You know it keeps you born 

You get to know a morning face 

You get to join the human race 

You get to know the world has passed you by 

Who cares? You might be dead 

Who cares? You stayed in bed 

Who cares? You wrote the note 

Who cares? You might have spoke 

Wake up! 

You take a snack to fill the gap 

And then you're ready for another shift 

Your attention was diverted 

By the girl who smiled and made the lift 

The radio is blaring out 

It's in one ear and then it's out 

You didn't notice that the record's over 

Who cares? You might be dead 

Who cares? You stayed in bed 

Who cares? You wrote the note 

Who cares? You might have spoke 

In the road a crowd had gathered 

And a man was close to dead 

The blood is running down the gutter 

While you're yawning, nothing's said 

His body's wriggling like an eel 

They got no sense, no touch, no feel 

Somebody better go and get a blanket 

Who cares? You might be dead 

Who cares? You stayed in bed 

Who cares? You wrote the note 

Who cares? You might have spoke 

Who cares?
