2 X 4

Come away from the window

Come  away from the rain

Don't  let them know we know who they are

They’re killing night and day

Pull the kids from the window

And  cover their eyes

We'll  separate today from tomorrow

From a block away you hear the deafening crack

That  2 x 4 just split their world in half

Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up

Can you hear the crack of that 2 x 4

(repeat x2)

Just  pretend that you're sleeping

If it saves your life

We'll spend the days living in the shadows

Keep the killer from our door

Just like in the movies

When you see one fall

Just like a bloody bag of meat

And you don't ever breathe a word at all

You just watch a policeman laugh and take a call

Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up

Can you hear the crack of that 2 x 4

(repeat x2)

Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up

Can you hear the crack of that 2 x 4

(repeat x2)
