Can We Stop

Do you remember?
Just close your eyes
And see the sunset from the hillside
Stars shining in the twilight
Open up
What did you find
A sky that's turning into ashes
We're running out of time

Can you save yourself when you pretend?
Counting the days 'til the end

Can we just stop and start again?
Before this tears us all to pieces?
Please, let's not repeat this
Can we stop?
Let it sink in
By now you should've learned the lesson
Try to pay attention

Wake up people!
It's time, I said it's time to grease the machine
Step right up and let it feed on all of your hopes and dreams
You're giving up your rights without a fight,
And no one seems to care
And change wont come about while you're sitting comfortably in a chair

Can you save yourself when you pretend?
Counting the days 'til the end

Can we just stop and start again?
Before this tears us all to pieces?
Please, let's not repeat this
Can we stop?
Let it sink in
By now you should've learned the lesson
Try to pay attention

We've got to wake!
Falling from this life
We've got to wake up!
Falling from this life

We've got to wake up, wake up,
Something has to change
Something's got to break
Wake up! Wake up!
You are not alive!
Wake up! Wake up!
Something has to change
Something's got to break
Wake up, wake up!
Something's got to give

Can we just stop and start again?
Before this tears us all to pieces?
Please, let's not repeat this
Can we stop?
Let it sink in
By now you should've learned the lesson
Try to pay attention

Can we stop and start again?
Before this tears us to pieces?
Can we stop and start again?
Is there anyone listening?

Wake up! Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!
Wake!
Up!
