Well I've been looking

Looking for an answer

Somebody promised me one

And I've been waiting

Waiting for the chance

Well somebody said it would come

Wake me up when we hit 2001



I've been talking

Talking to the maker

Of the compromise

They said she's fine

Call the undertaker

You shouldn't look surprised

Wake me up when we hit 2001



It's barely alive with a story at five

So turn your video on

We live in these years dark age of fear

Meet me in 2001



I saw my sister

Saw the ones who twist her

A social suicide

If looks could kill

Each and every cheap thrill

Could be a homicide

Wake me up when we hit 2001

It's barely alive with a story at five

So turn your video on

We live in these years dark age of fear

Meet me in 2001



I've been searching

Searching for a reason

To either fight or die

Either way patriot or treason

It's gonna be one long hard ride

Wake me up when we hit 2001
