If I had a lighter in hand with some oily rags   Is that what it would take   To wake you from your sleep?   Woke up from your American dreams   To be surrounded, surrounded in flames      You've got to scream to make your voice heard   I won't stop screaming until mine is heard      Wake up! Wake up!   To the world around you   Wake up! Wake up!   To the world around you   Wake up! Wake up!   To the world around you   Wake up! Wake up!      If we blocked the streets everyday   Face down on the pavement as we lay   You're angered that you're five minutes late   What happens next time when we stop you all day?   Yeah, next time when we stop you all day?      You've got to scream to make your voice heard   And I won't stop screaming until mine is heard      Wake up! Wake up!   To the world around you   Wake up! Wake up!   To the world around you   Wake up! Wake up!   To the world around you   Wake up! Wake up!   To the world around you      It's the same song sung   Sung at the top of our lungs      Screaming for freedom and pleading for liberty   Screaming for freedom and pleading for liberty   Screaming for freedom and pleading for liberty   Freedom
