Wake Up You Little Fool

The clock strikes midnight

As the dream slips through your hands

This is no dress rehearsal

There is no second chance

You stare into the mirror

Pour cool water on your face

You're lookin' at a stranger

And you feel so out of place

Sometimes I wanna take you

And shake you out of this dream

I'm talking to you

Wake up, you little fool

Wake up, you little fool

Now don't you ever wonder

What it feels like to be free

When you're starin' at a future

That's not what it used to be?

You're reachin' for something you don't understand

Tryin' to care but you don't give a damn

You're at the controls, but you're not in command

And just growin' older don't make you a man

Wake up, you little fool

Wake up, you little fool

Sometimes I wanna take you

And shake you out of this dream

I'm talking to you

Wake up, you little fool

Wake up, you little fool

(You're reachin' for something you don't understand)

Wake up, you little fool

(Tryin' to care but you don't give a damn)

Wake up, you little fool

(You're at the controls, but you're not in command)

Wake up, you little fool

(Just growin' older don't make you a man)

Wake up, you little fool

Wake up, you little fool
