They came while you were asleep
And then they took you rights away
They spoke while you were a dreaming
So you tucked your tail and booked your holiday
Run boy, run
But you know, down at the core
The day will come
When you know you just can't take it anymore
You're not dying but you're not living
Now's no time to simply watch and wait
Stop denying, stop forgiving
'Cause there's not much time 'til it could be too late
They came while you were asleep
And then they dragged you out the door
They walked right into your dream
And now it seems you're never heard from anymore
Find your spine
You can fight this if you want
Draw your line
Don't play deaf, dumb and blind like some brain dead dilettante
You're not blind but you're not seeing
There's not much time 'til they could steal your fate
Stop complying, start decreeing
Now's the time to start to agitate
You're not trying 'cause you're still kneeling
Stop denying you don't know what's at stake
I'm not lying, it's your rights they're stealing
You know I won't stop trying until we're all awake
