God don't make no promises that he don't keep You got some big dreams, baby But in order to dream you gotta still be asleep When you gonna wake up When you gonna wake up When you gonna wake up And strengthen the things that remain? Counterfeit philosophies have polluted all of your thoughts Karl Marx has got ya by the throat And Henry Kissinger's got you tied up in knots When you gonna wake up When you gonna wake up When you gonna wake up And strengthen the things that remain? You got innocent men in jail, insane asylums are filled You got unrighteous doctors Dealing drugs that'll never cure your ills When you gonna wake up When you gonna wake up When you gonna wake up And strengthen the things that remain? You got men who can't hold their peace Women who can't control their tongues The rich seduce the poor and the old are seduced by the young When you gonna wake up When you gonna wake up When you gonna wake up Strengthen the things that remain? Adulterers in churches and pornography in the schools You got gangsters in power and lawbreakers making rules When you gonna wake up When you gonna wake up When you gonna wake up And strengthen the things that remain? Spiritual advisors and gurus to guide your every move Instant inner peace and every step you take has got to be approved When you gonna wake up Said when you gonna wake up When you gonna wake up And strengthen the things that remain? Do you ever wonder just what God requires? You think he's just an errand boy to satisfy your wandering desires When you gonna wake up When you gonna wake up When you gonna wake up And strengthen the things that remain? You can't take it with you and you know it's too worthless to be sold They tell you time is money As if your life was worth its weight in gold There's a man on a cross and he been crucified for you Believe in his power, that's about all you got to do When you gonna wake up When you gonna wake up When you gonna wake up And strengthen the things that remain?

I never thought that it would be like this before I never wanted just one kiss for sure Well, maybe I didn't understand All you wanted was a one night stand, well Never thought that I would beg like this for more These days I wonder how I'm gonna make it tomorrow These ways I'll have to beg if I want to borrow My love, here I'm on my knees Please be here when I wake up tomorrow I never felt like this before My love is flowing out for sure Your lips upon my skin Come out and let me in now Never thought I'd beg like this for more These days I wonder how I'm gonna make it tomorrow In these ways I'm praying there's no need for sorrow These days I wonder what will come of tomorrow These ways I'll have to beg if I want to borrow Your love, here I'm on my knees Please be here when I wake up tomorrow

The cash machine Is blue and green For a hundred in 20's And a small service fee I could spend three dollars And 63 cents On diet Coca-Cola And unlit cigarettes I wonder why We listen to poets When nobody gives a fuck How hot and sorrowful This machine begs for luck All my lies are always wishes I know I would die If I could come back new I want a good life With a nose for things A fresh wind and bright sky To enjoy my suffering A hole without a key If I break my tongue Speaking of tomorrow How will it ever come All my lies are always my wishes I know I would die If I could come back new I'm down on my hands and knees Every time the doorbell rings I shake like a toothache When I hear myself sing All my lies are only wishes I know I would die If I could come back new I would like to salute The ashes of American flags And all the falling leaves Filling up shopping bags
