Lyrics

Wake Up

[Verse 1]

There’s too much talk

There’s too much TV

There’s too much going down

Well, it’s confusing me

[Chorus]

So wake up, wake up

To the 20th century

[Verse 2]

Well, there’s plenty other boys

We make a lot of noise

We’re getting pretty vicious

We’re gonna smash up all your toys

[Chorus]

So wake up, wake up

To the 20th century

[Verse 3]

Well I believe I’ve had enough

Yeah I’m getting ripped off

Don’t you stand around and check it

Just go on and get it

[Chorus]

So wake up, wake up

To the 20th century

[Verse 4]

Out in the car

Sitting in a traffic jam

It’s always happening

Yeah, again and again and again

[Chorus]

So wake up, wake up

To the 20th century

[Verse 3]

Well I believe I’ve had enough

Yeah I’m getting ripped off

Don’t you stand around and check it

Just go on and get it

[Outro]

Wake up to the 20th century

Wake up to the 20th century

Wake up to the 20th century

Wake up to the 20th century

Wake up to the 20th century

Wake up to the 20th century

Wake up
