Wake Up America

Turn on the tv
What do you see
Chicks shaking their
Asses on the screen
Little girls do the same
What kind of an example is this?
Where are their parents?
Is this how life is?
Is the world caving in?
"Chorus"
Yeah we believe
We believe
That we can save ourselves
And we think we are fine
When really were about to die
It's time to see life
From a new perspective
(Screaming) Wake up
Wake up
Wake up
America


Yeah it seems that we
Are the center of the world
And all follow us to their graves
We taint societies with our
American ways
All you know is probably
From an American show
We wave our guns in the air
Just to show we ain't scared
But is that true, I don't know


"Bridge"
How can we live
When the worlds caving in
We're tearing them down
We're tearing them to the ground
How can we live when the worlds
Caving in
Caving in
How can we live
How can we live
When the world
When the world
Is caving in


Do we know
Who we are
Can we see our country bleed
Will we stop and think
About our American dream
Is it still here
I'm starting to fear
That our American dream
Our American dream
Is lost at sea
"Chorus"
Yeah we believe
We believe
That we can save ourselves
And we think, we are fine
When really were about to die
It's time to see life
From a new perspective
(Screaming)
Wake up
Wake up
Wake up
Wake up
America

Sooooo true! All society has to offer now is YouTube tutorials on how to twerk, it's very messed up what we are becoming and we do, very well, need to wake up!

John........just do what I do......change the channel!Seriously,this is in the same vein as Real Problems and The Easy Excuse,so I'm with you.But it's just not America.....it's "Wake Up Planet Earth!"Good one,John and welcome back Traingirl.Oh,just an after thought.....Wake Up Little Susie!Wake Up!

Sure, this is a wake-up call for the whole of the Western world, as these lyrics apply to this side of the Atlantic as well (except for the gun-waving part). Had never heard of 'twerking', but it was just the word I wasn't familiar with. Here the call it 'bubbling'.

Yeah America is basically a way of saying the world because everyone follows us, every country watches our shows, every country knows of our government. Many countries based their government after ours so America is the originator and everyone else follows.

John, thanks again! One reason why the Islamic world detests so much the western world and way of life is exactly because they
want so desperately offer an alternative, this , of course, also attracts the extreme groups, which is threatening the islamic world,
a great culture indeed, from within.
The world needs different kinds of societies, not just one. Culture needs to be manysided, multilingual, media too.
How devastating the superficial "monstrosity" of the western society has become is indeed frightening me to death.
You made a good point there, as always!

Thank you amaryn and I agree with you America which I am apart of tries to control the whole world when we don't even have our own stuff in order I just think we need to stop worrying about everyone else and worry about ourselves you can't be a leader if you can't lead yourself.
