Lyrics

It somehow happened in the early
nineteen eighties
We put a hole in the sky
They were aware and they would tell us they would fix it
If we would only try
To change

Did we sleep through it all?
Did we sleep through it all one day?
Did we sleep through it all?
But now I'm wide awake!

I woke up in a world where nothing seems to matter
And everybody keeps to himself
I turn on the news and the world is on fire
Tell me, did we sleep through it all?

It seems the warning from that time was soon forgotten
What gave us peace of mind?
But now it's warmer and the water rising higher
Who will get left behind?
No change

Did we sleep through it all?
Did we sleep through it all one day?
Did we sleep through it all?
But now I'm wide awake!

I woke up in a world where nothing really happens
'Cause everybody disagrees
On ninety-nine channels a city's going under
Easy as a summer breeze
Did we sleep through it all?
Did we sleep through it all?
Did we sleep through it all?

We watch the water fall
This is our final call

I woke up in a world where nothing really happens
'Cause everybody disagrees
On ninety-nine channels a city's going under
Easy as a summer breeze
Did we sleep through it all?
Did we sleep through it all?
Did we sleep through it all?
