papa hoodlum - wake-up call lyrics

hey you, down in the square
shopping up a storm and checking your hair
there’s more to life than this, or do you even care
and all the saints said amen
hey you, up in the tree
watching all the politics and tyranny
around here one and one and one, it ain’t always three
and all the saints said amen
that’s him up on the city wall
dodging arrows and the cannonb+lls
he’ll go far if he doesn’t fall for what he sees

hey you, there in the ring
it ain’t over til the angels sing
watch the sucker punch while you’re reaching out
for the latest thing
and all the saints said amen
hey you, down in the mouth
counting coins or putting up another house
the birds are flying overhead, but they’re headed south
and all the saints said amen
raise a broken glass for his toast
just another watchman at his post
trying his best to make the very most
of what he sees
hey you, standing around
you left your life jacket back in tourist town
in case you didn’t see, i think we’re going down, going down
hey you, in the debris
i looked over kansas and what did i see
my country was in ruins
o say can you see
and all the saints said amen
he was up there the day before
but i don’t see him anymore
another victim of another war
and what he sees

so long, mr. watchman
sir, your night watch is done
perhaps if we’d have listened

hey me, down in the sludge
setting up a pedestal and holding a grudge
who gave you the jury and the right to judge
and all the saints said amen
and all the saints said amen
and all the saints said amen
and all the saints said
wake up, uncle sammy, wake up
wake up, wake up
wake up, wake up, wake up
‘cause this is the end
