Lyrics
[Intro – Ominous Strings]
(Low voice)
The rent is due, the fridge is bare
Blue light flickers in the midnight air
Wake the fuck up—look at what they’re selling
[Verse 1 – Deep Male Vocals]
You wonder why you’re broke, why your hope runs thin
Hours cut short while the prices climb again
Your mother skips a meal to keep the heat turned on
Your kid wears last year’s shoes till the soles are gone
A boss sends one cold message: “We’re reducing staff”
While shareholders toast and call it “doing the math”
You gave them every hour, every nerve, every day
Wake up, read the fine print—take your life back today
[Pre-Chorus – Female Harmonies]
Don’t shut your eyes
Don’t swallow blame
Ask who gets paid
When they raise the game
[Chorus – Aggressive / Harmonized]
Who gets rich? Who pays the price?
Cut through the noise, look twice
Stand up, speak out, break the choke
Say it loud: I’d rather be woke
(Female Harmonies)
Rather be woke
Rather be free
No more silence
No chains on me
[Verse 2 – Deep Male Vocals]
The landlord raises rent, the paycheck stays the same
A clinic turns you away because your card won’t clear the claim
A school cuts art and lunch while the stadium lights burn
A river takes the runoff, and the children cough and learn
Your neighbor works two shifts, still choosing which bill waits
A phone records your footsteps, then predicts your wants and rates
They flood the feed with outrage, keep the facts beneath the noise
So check the source, compare the numbers, make your own choice
[Pre-Chorus – Female Harmonies]
Don’t shut your eyes
Don’t swallow blame
Ask who gets paid
When they raise the game
[Chorus – Aggressive / Harmonized]
Who gets rich? Who pays the price?
Cut through the noise, look twice
Stand up, speak out, break the choke
Say it loud: I’d rather be woke
(Female Harmonies)
Rather be woke
Rather be free
No more silence
No chains on me
[Bridge – Half-Time Vocals]
You can scroll past the eviction notice on your street
Past the nurse who lost her home while keeping yours on its feet
Or show up at the meeting, bring the names, demand the proof
Stand beside the people who are fighting for the truth
They want us split and shouting, pointing fingers in the dark
But a locked door opens faster when a hundred shoulders start
I’d rather face the facts than hide behind a screen
Raise your voice, protect your neighbor—fight for what you mean
[Break – Deep Male Vocals]
The meter’s flashing red…
The cupboard’s almost bare…
Wake the fuck up—someone’s counting on your silence…
I’d rather be woke
[Final Chorus – Full / Harmonized]
Who gets rich? Who pays the price?
Cut through the noise, look twice
Stand up, speak out, break the choke
I’d rather be woke
(Female Harmonies)
Rather be woke
Rather be free
Eyes wide open
Stand with me
No more silence, no more smoke
No more lies to keep us broke
Raise your voice, refuse the yoke
I’d rather be woke
[Outro Chant – Full Cast]
Woke, not numb
Woke, not broke
Woke, not blind
I’d rather be woke.
