Lyrics:
V1
I think the world has gone crazy
Desperation fills the air
Too many minds have gone lazy
Far too many people don't care
V2
It gets me spinning like a top
Moving 'round and going nowhere
I just want it all to stop
We're so informed, yet unaware
Bridge
Wait a minute, wait a minute
Chorus
Everybody claims they're woke
But what does that really mean?
Is it a call for action?
Or just meaningless talk
Sometimes life plays a cruel joke
That makes me want to scream
Empty words are a distraction
While everyone just sleepwalks
Bridge
Wait a minute, wait a minute
V3
A second thought is a minute gained
If our moments of doubt changed our brain waves
All the time we wasted and explained
How much we knew and how little we gave
Bridge
Wait a minute, wait a minute
Chorus
Everybody claims they're woke
But what does that really mean?
Is it a call for action?
Or just meaningless talk
Sometimes life plays a cruel joke
That makes me want to scream
Empty words are a distraction
While everyone just sleepwalks
Outro
Wait a minute, wait a minute
Wait just a little minute
Wait just a little minute
Wait a minute
Turn it down
