Wake the Fuck Up

Gustavo Bustermann

Yo, I been sleepin' on this shit for way too long
Wake the fuck up, quick

Used to scroll past the feed, act like it ain't real
Laugh at the memes, shrug off the steel
While they poisoned the well and put hate on repeat
I saw the rallies, the chants, the fuckin' bile
Actin' tough online, then hide behind denial
No more sittin' on the fence, no more pretendin' it makes sense
The moment hit me like a brick to the chest
Can't unsee the damage, can't go back to rest
This ain't about left or right no more
It's about the shit they cheerin' for
They sellin' nostalgia for a bad past
Talkin' peace with a smirk and a gun
Then cry victim when the shit hits 'em
Gaslightin' the masses, twistin' every fact
Callin' empathy weakness, callin' cruelty tact
The body count rose and I can't play that game
Seven hundred thousand lives lost to denial and delay
While the science was ignored and the bodies piled day by day
Ain't no more excuses, ain't no more soft
They thrivin' on division, feedin' on the fear
And I been complicit just by sittin' here
The cruelty, the lies, the power grab
Time to wake the fuck up or get dragged

Wake the fuck up (hold up)
Open your eyes (don't sleep, open your eyes)
Wake the fuck up (don't sleep)
Stop playin' dumb (stop playin' dumb)
Wake the fuck up (hold up, hold up, hold up)
The dream is over (don't sleep)
Wake the fuck up (hold up)
No more sleepin' (don't sleep, no more sleepin')

Wake the fuck up (don't sleep, don't sleep)
Open your eyes, see the game they runnin'
Fascists pushin' hate and we been frontin'
Wake the fuck up (hold up)
Face the truth (don't sleep, face the truth)
Wake the fuck up (don't sleep, don't sleep)
Rise up, speak loud (don't sleep)
Wake the fuck up (hold up)
Ain't no more denyin' it (don't sleep, don't sleep)
Can't ignore the fire when the house is gone
Time to face the truth, ain't no more denyin' it

Guy, you don't even understand how this shit works
Guy, sit your ass back down
Guy, you are not performin' anythin' this evenin', cunt
Bro, just get in the car
Tell your slut wife we are about to become busy
I can do it, maybe someday
My dad said I needed a job
I was an office boy for a year, then I bounced
Actually, I got fired 'cause I was influenced by all my friends
Tires keep screechin', engine revvin', hands upon the steerin'
Who said we weren't, skeet?
That never learned how to live morally, but learned how to tell any idiot to go fuck themselves
The reality will liberate you, therefore, remain entirely truthful toward me
I am as dark as the fuckin' white supremacist, motherfucker
Comin' from something harmful, lettin' them destroy me, shit

Wake the fuck up (hold up)
Open your eyes (don't sleep, open your eyes)
Wake the fuck up (don't sleep)
Stop playin' dumb (stop playin' dumb)
Wake the fuck up (hold up, hold up, hold up)
The dream is over (don't sleep)
Wake the fuck up (hold up)
No more sleepin' (don't sleep, no more sleepin')

Wake the fuck up (don't sleep, don't sleep)
Open your eyes, see the game they runnin'
Fascists pushin' hate and we been frontin'
Wake the fuck up (hold up)
Face the truth (don't sleep, face the truth)
Wake the fuck up (don't sleep, don't sleep)
Rise up, speak loud (don't sleep)
Wake the fuck up (hold up)
Ain't no more denyin' it (don't sleep, don't sleep)
Can't ignore the fire when the house is gone
Time to face the truth, ain't no more denyin' it
