[Intro]
[slap bass]
[power drums]
[pre chorus]
Surveillance State
Global Opression
Stay Asleep
Cease your Aggression
Do as your told court is in session
Rats on the rise… Soldiers at attention!
[Verse 1]
It’s hard to wake up
to a world that is cold and empty
It is easier to sleep and dream
but even that has become haunting
The chemicals they spray on us
Leaves me tired with an empty soul
Where love used to fill me
Lies a pit and an empty hole
[guitar Solo]
[Verse 2]
Why wake up to a world
that feels just like a prison
The media tells us lies
Socials feed us indecision
Fed up with the world
Not even trying to be happy
Joy sucked right out of me
Life itself seems so crappy
[Bridge]
I pray to the Lord above
But I get silence in return
Has God just abandoned us
Left us here to burn
[Chorus]
Stay Asleep
Forced to Comply
Do what you’re told
Or you will die
Rats on the rise… Take the mark…
Or it’s hanging time…
[Bridge 2]
When the world becomes our cell
And devices are our jailer
Makes a country boy run for the woods
Or the ocean like a sailor
[guitar solo]
[heavy downbeat]
[Verse 3]
Time feels empty
as it passes right on by
Any hope that I once had
Is beginning to slowly die
Nothing about this surveillance
Gives me any peace
Trading freedom for security
[break]
Removes both …
there is no hope…
Only dispair…
This is the end of liberty
[Final Bridge]
So sit there in your cell like a good little pawn
Or stand up against the machine
Doing nothing is doing something
And choosing the oppressor side
Get off your ass and take a stand either way you die!
[Final Chorus]
Stay Asleep
Because it’s safe
Or wake the fuck up
And break this cage
Take a stand and you may fall
But it is better to die a hero’s death
Than to have done nothing at all
Ahhh!
[Outro]
