people wake up and live

now i know mother nature feels very

very

very disgusted

with you and you

and especially you

because we have really played a sho'nuff rip-off game on mother nature

we'll kill all the grass

and won't let the cool breeze last

we just won't let the water flow

and won't let the natural things grow

i know sometimes you feel the world has turned its back on you

but don't give up

heh

it'll come through for you

so wake up

people

wake up

people

give yourself a chance

you owe that to yourself

so wake up

people

give yourself a chance to lead

this morning i woke up

heh

feeling kinda bad

i missed all the cool breeze

and the clear air that i had

ah

ooh

i've got to wake up

we've got to wake up

let's give ourself a chance

we owe that to ourselves

wake on up

we got to wake right up

ah

woo-hoo

we wanna wake on up

sometimes i get so uptight

i feel

feel

feel

feel

feel like the world is gonna clean outta sight

people

come on back

we just can't afford to overlook the crossroads

let's go back

let's go back

and let's go right on back

and live
