Your streets are battlegrounds, your parks are graveyards now,
You don't ever ask the why, the wherefore or the how,
We're balanced on a tricky slope, just set fair to fall,
And tumble down that tricky slide to hell,
Wake up neighbour, wake up.
Your culture is in ruins and its expectations are nil,
And all you're looking to is time for the next pill,
You set your children concrete goals, philosophy full of holes,
Neglecting spiritual security
Wake up neighbour, wake up.
Wake up neighbour, wake up neighbour
(Repeat three times)
Better get ready cause your time is running out.
Another day is coming soon, surely ain't no doubt.
We're heading straight for trouble, trouble on the double,
The future ain't so very hard to see,
Wake up neighbour, wake up.
Wake up neighbour, wake up
Wake up neighbour, Wake up
Wake up neighbour.
