There was a time When all the doors closed Boarded up the storefronts Sent everyone home No one was driving The air was all clean Just one of the reasons I was grateful to breathe What were we doing What did we know Before we all noticed A hole in the boat Sinking and swimming Thinking were living Ran out of lipstick to put on the pig So don’t rock me back to sleep 'Cause I'm wide awake And I'm done with counting sheep I’ve had it that way It’s not my job but it might be my turn To get up and put in the work This won’t have to be The last song on earth When there’s nothing to do All day to do it If you don’t use your kindness You’re likely to lose it It’s only human To step outside the door With phone keys and wallet And a little unsure What were we doing What did we know Before we all noticed A hole in the boat Sinking and swimming Thinking were living Ran out of lipstick to put on the pig So don’t rock me back to sleep 'Cause I'm wide awake And I'm done with counting sheep I’ve had it that way It’s not my job but it might be my turn To get up and put in the work This doesn’t have to be The last song on earth What were we doing What’s the excuse Can’t turn off the world Like we turn off the news Took off the blinders Learned how to listen listen Remember this feeling and hope for forgiveness So don’t rock me back to sleep 'Cause I'm wide awake And I'm done with counting sheep I’ve had it that way It’s not my job but it might be my turn To get up and put in the work This doesn’t have to be the Last song on earth
