You can look a hurricane right in the eye
Twelve-hundred people dead
All left to die, follow the leaders

Were in an eye for an eye
We'd all be blind
Deaf or murdered, this I'm sure

In this uncertain time

So come pull the sheet over my eyes

So I can sleep tonight
Despite what I've seen today
I find you guilty of a crime

Of sleeping at a time
When you should have been wide awake


Down on the road the world is floating by
The poor and undefended left behind
While you're somewhere trading lives for oil

As if the whole world were blind

So come pull the sheet over my eyes

So I can sleep tonight
Despite what I've seen today
I find you guilty of a crime

Of sleeping at a time
When you should have been wide awake


Wide awake
