state of emergency

(Waters)

I wake up every mornin
I just don’t wanna get outta bed
There’s so much wrong in the world today
I feel dead

I feel so helpless as I watch the world go by
Can’t express my own opinion
I’m scared to speak my mind

We’re in a state of emergency
It’s not too late
But there’s urgency stand up

I used to say what I wanted
But now I gotta watch every word
Just follow and fall in line
Like a herd

Rise up and state your case
Rise up and take your place
Rise up and outta the hole we’re in
Rise up and take control again

I wanna wake up every mornin
And I’m a gonna jump outta bed
I’m gonna make a difference
Instead
