Wake Up - Thrice

Just a little sleep, a little slumber

Little folding of the hands to rest

That’s what we tell ourselves

But we know we’re gonna just lay here till the sun’s gone west

But there are foxes in the garden

And there’s an armed man at the door

When the wind is right and the skies show favor

When the heat has died and the day is cool

We tell ourselves that we’ll do it later

When we know full well that that ain’t true

And now there’s wolves at every window

The mob is breaking down the door

Come on, we gotta wake up!

We gotta wake up!

We gotta wake up!

I hear them coming back for more

We gotta wake up!

Oh, we say we’ll do it when things settle down

We say we’ll do it when this season’s through

We say we’ll do it when we get around to it

But it’s already overdue

And there are foxes in the garden

And there’s an armed man at the door

Tomorrow’s song is a siren singing

Such a sweet and subtle lullaby

Tomorrow’s song has got us clinging

To the promise of the by and by

And now there’s wolves at every window

The mob is breaking down the door

Come on, we gotta wake up!

We gotta wake up!

We gotta wake up!

I hear them coming back for more

Come on, we gotta wake up!

We gotta wake up!

We gotta wake up!

Oh, I think they’re gathering for war
