Hull You think you're outrageous, you just talking too loud You think you're a loner, you just one of the crowd You think you're a flier, you never been off the ground You say you're a seeker, you just looking around. You gotta get wise (open your eyes) Who gonna wait? (don't leave it too late) You gotta realise (you gotta get wise) You gotta get wise. You think you're a raver, you don't go any place You think you're so sociable, you're just a social disgrace The world owes your favours, I can see it in your face You think you're a lion but you're just a rat in the race. You gotta get wise (open your eyes) Who gonna wait? (don't leave it too late)
You gotta realise (you gotta get wise) You gotta get wise (you gotta get wise). You gotta get wise (open your eyes) Who gonna wait? (don't leave it too late) You gotta realise (you gotta get wise) You gotta get wise. The world is a mistress but she's nobody's wife You might own the living but you don't own the life And life is forgiving, forgiving is free This song is for you but it's also for me. You gotta get wise (open your eyes) Who gonna wait? (don't leave it too late) You gotta realise (you gotta get wise) You gotta get wise (you gotta get wise). You gotta get wise Wise.
