Wake Up |
| I drink a bottle everyday then step on the stage |
| I first knew something was wrong when I was half my age |
| One night while I was singing, I started to laugh |
| I couldn’t stop laughing for a week and a half |
| I’ll never forget the girl in the first row |
| She said, «But its not funny» |
| I said, «I know» |
| So I went to a shrink and he said to me |
| «Just don’t drink when you’re nervous |
| That’s the key» |
| And I said, «Okay, that sounds fine» |
| I didn’t tell him I was nervous all the time |
| So I kept on drinking |
| And I kept on thinking |
| Wake up, you’re dying now |
| You should be dead |
| But you’re not somehow |
| You think you’re being brave |
| But you’re digging a grave |
| You talk like a master |
| But you live like a slave |
| I started meditating, that worked for a while |
| I spent a lot of time alone |
| And I forgot how to smile |
| I went to church, I’d just sit there and stew |
| Thinking, «How can all these people believe things that aren’t true» |
| It seems to work well for them, why can’t I? |
| I guess it’s 'cause I’m special |
| 'Cause I’m too smart a guy |
| Too smart |
| Wake up, you’re dying now |
| You should be dead |
| But you’re not somehow |
| You think you’re being brave |
| But you’re digging a grave |
| You talk like a master |
| But you live like a slave |
| I decided that I couldn’t do it alone |
| I called a guy I know on a telephone |
| I told him all I ever wanted was to be perfect |
| I sure as hell don’t wanna be an alcoholic |
| Acceptance is a doorway to hell |
| If you’re on the wrong side |
| Things don’t go so well |
| So I accepted who I am, and named my disease |
| And finally felt relief, and got down on my knees |
| Wake up, you’re living now |
| You’ve been gone so long, do you remember how? |
| Just be yourself, that’s being brave |
| You’re not the master |
| But you sure ain’t the slave |
| You’re not the master |
| But you sure ain’t the slave |
| Wake up, you’re living now |
| You’ve been gone so long, do you remember how? |
| Just be yourself, that’s being brave |
| You’re not the master |
| But you sure ain’t the slave |
| You’re not the master |
| But you sure ain’t the slave |
| You’re not the master |
| But you sure ain’t the slave |
