Mothers sweep your little lies
Right before your children's eyes
Fathers just ignore this new disease
TV raises children well
Intravenous show and tell
They're going down our steps
On hands and knees
You're sleeping the day away
Wake up, wake up
Acknowledge a brand new day

[Chorus] You will shine
Like the sun in the sky
The stars burning bright in their eyes
You will shine
Like the stars in their eyes
The sun burning bright
You will shine

Occupation alibis
The dollar is the great disguise
All along the papers stained with tears
And with your self-inflicted lies
It's just ourselves we hypnotize
And all your gold won't wash away their fears

Stop sleeping your life away
Wake up, wake up
Acknowledge a brand new way

[Chorus:Repeat x2] [Chorus:Repeat x3]
