Now I know Mother Nature feels very, very, very
Disgusted with you, and you, and especially you
'Cause we have really played a sho'nuff rip-off game on Mother Nature
We kill all the grass, and we won't let the cool breeze last
We just won't let the water flow
And we won't let the natural things grow
I know sometimes you feel the world has turned its back on you
But don't give up, heh, it'll come through for you
So wake up people, wake up people
Give yourself a chance, you owe that to yourself
So wake up people, give yourself a chance to believe
This morning I woke up, heh, feeling kinda bad
I missed all the cool breeze, and the clear air that I had
Aah, ooh, I've got to wake up, we've got to wake up
Let's give ourself a chance, we owe that to ourselves
Wake on up, we got to wake right up
ย
Oh, oh, oh, we wanna wake on up and leave
Sometimes I get so uptight
I feel, feel, feel, feel, feel like
The world is gonna clean out of sight
People come on back, we just can't afford
To overlook the crossroads
Let's go back, let's go back
Yeah, let's go right on back, and leave
