Bilingual
You put your cleanest dirty shirt on, then you stagger down to meet the dawn
You take a ride upon a bus, it's just a fuss, you know it keeps you born
You get to know a morning face
You get to join the human race
You get to know the world has passed you by
(Who cares?) You might be dead
(Who cares?) You stayed in bed
(Who cares?) You wrote the note
(Who cares?) You might have spoke
(Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up)
(Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up)
(Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up)
(Wake up, wake up, wake up) wake up!

You take a snack to fill the gap and then you're ready for another shift
Your attention was diverted by the girl who smiled and made the lift
The radio is blaring out
It's in one ear and then it's out
You didn't notice that the record's over
(Who cares?) You might be dead
(Who cares?) You stayed in bed
(Who cares?) You wrote the note
(Who cares?) You might have spoke
(Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up)
(Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up)
(Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up)
(Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up)

In the road, a crowd had gathered and a man was close to dead
The blood is running down the gutter while you're yawning, nothing's said
His body's wriggling like an eel
They got no sense, no touch, no feel
Somebody better go and get a blanket
(Who cares?) You might be dead
(Who cares?) You stayed in bed
(Who cares?) You wrote the note
(Who cares?) Yeah, you might have spoke
(Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up)
(Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up)
(Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up)
(Wake up, wake up, wake up) who cares?

(Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up)
(Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up)
(Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up)
(Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up)
(Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up)
(Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up)
(Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up)
(Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up)
