Abrasive Wheels - Wake Up lyrics

Lying in my bed the thoughts are running through my head These pills are working and I'm wishing I was dead It's afternoon and the kids are home from school When I was young I thought that I'd be nobody's fool The summer of '76 was hot we spent the whole time drinking Listening to the Pistols and Ramones that's when I got to thinking I got a guitar and I started up a band Just another teenage waste, just another punk rock band Wake up, check it out, this is now, the 21st century Things never turned out how they planned, like they were meant to be Wake up, take a look, this is your, 21st century Everything is pay up on demand, in front of your TV Out of luck and out of work, I went and spent the giro drinking Bills ain't getting paid no more and I know this ship is sinking For what it's worth, I know I let you down I'm hanging on the best I can, like a dog about to drown Wake up, check it out, this is now, the 21st century Things never turned out how they planned, like they were meant to be Wake up, take a look, this is your, 21st century Everything is pay up on demand, in front of your TV Times may have changed but the song plays the same And we all play our part in this mad masquerade These are the times… these are the times of our lives
