Strum
D-DU-UDU
You  can a look a hurricane right  in the eye
 1200 people dead or left  to die
Follow  the leaders, we're  in an eye for an  eye we'll all be blind
 Death for murder and 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
 Interlude=intro
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
I  found you guilty  of a crime,  all this I  know(?)
Come  pull the sheet over my  eyes
 So I can sleep tonight
Despite  what I've  seen today
I  find you guilty of the crime  of sleeping at a  time
When  you should have been wide  awake
Wide  awake! Wide  awake! Wide  awake! Wide  awake!
