Wake Up

Lyrics

[Intro: Joss Stone, Damian Marley] Yo Yup One, two, three Boom (Mm) Thanks for stoppin' in This ain't no pop, no, Mary Poppins' not a synonym (Ah, ah, ah, ah) A-Jr. Gong and Joss Stone, the modern day Janis Jopli-in (La-da, da-da, da-da) Come to tell you what is happenin' If you've been tuning in I'm assuming that you're unsatisfied (La-la, la-la, la-la) Unless you don't know the root of the music from the beginning (Mm-mm-mm) In this modern day test tube culture that we're livin' in (Ooh) [Verse 1: Joss Stone, Damian Marley] What is this nonsense I can't heart through? This combination of money and fools It's abominable (You tell 'em) Uncontrollable Remember the stage where the flower child rules? And music was true so the people could choose Then the suits took control Promote a new low [Pre-Chorus: Joss Stone, Backing Vocalists] My life is a soundtrack to (My life is a soundtrack) A beautiful movement, movement Composed to get closer to (Composed to get closer) A revolution What are you doing? [Chorus: Joss Stone, Damian Marley] Wake up (Uh) Tell me what is this nonsense ([?]) Why can't we be conscious (No, no, no) Of what we're feeding our people? ([?]) People Just wake up (Huh) Tell me what is this nonsense (Uh) You killed the conscious With your deliberate evil [Verse 2: Joss Stone, Damian Marley] What is this shit now we're forced to sit? ([?]) The greenery gone and our soul got split It's incredulous (Huh) How your lyrics got prejudice Cast your mind back to the sold out flick When a couple of strings and a mic was it It's a fashion-less show Unbelievable [Pre-Chorus: Joss Stone, Damian Marley, Backing Vocalists] My life is a soundtrack to (My life is a soundtrack) A beautiful movement Composed to get closer to (Uh-huh) (Composed to get closer) (Yeah) A revolution (That's right) Tell me what are you doing [Chorus: Joss Stone, Damian Marley] Wake up (Boom) Tell me what is this nonsense (No, no, no) Why can't we be conscious (No, no, no) Of what we're feeding our people? (Bullshit) People Just wake up (Ah) Tell me what is this nonsense (Uh) You know that you killed the conscious With your deliberate evil [Bridge: Joss Stone, Damian Marley] First they take your mind Ambiguous and subliminal What does singing have to do with my abdominals? Better read the fine print in the peripherals — What? Then they take your soul Him and me lawyer come pen pals Suddenly I hear funny signals What a sneaky set of individuals — What? And just before you know You can't see no residuals And those who say they have your back You take it out a straight attack And sell out for decimals The whole of you is owned by somebody else You screamin' for help So shake up yourself The call is comin' through Some truth from me to you [Chorus: Joss Stone] Wake up What is all of this nonsense? Why can't we be conscious Of what we're feeding our people? People Now wake up Someone tell me what's this nonsense Oh, can't you be conscious What you're feeding your people? [Outro: Joss Stone, Backing Vocalists] Ooh (What are we feeding our...) Ooh (What are we feeding our...) What's this nonsense? (What are we feeding our people?) Can't we be conscious? (What are we feeding our...) Of what we're feeding our (What are we feeding our...) What we're feeding our, nah-nonsense (What are we feeding our people?) Ooh, ooh (What are we feeding our...) Ooh (What are we feeding our...) What's this nonsense? (What are we feeding our people?) Can't we be conscious? (What are we feeding our...) (What are we feeding our...) Can't we be? (What are we feeding our people?) Can't we be? Yeah Now wake up (What are we feeding our...) (What are we feeding our...) Wake up (What are we feeding our people?) Come on people now wake up (What are we feeding our...) (What are we feeding our...) Wake up for me (What are we feeding our people?) Wake up for me, plea— (What are we feeding our...) Wake up (What are we feeding our...) (What are we feeding our people?) Wake up, yeah (What are we feeding our...) Wake up (What are we feeding our...) Wake up (What are we feeding our people?) You got to be conscious (Ah, I fucked up the ending)
