Just a mother and sons living under the gun
Bruises on their backs were just another
Sign of the push & the shove & the lack of the love
On the side of the tracks that they were brought up
Now theyre speaking it out through the silence & doubt
Try to figure it out but get caught up
In the here and the now & the where & the how
You know what its about when they say
Wake me when its over
Pick me up Im on the ground
Wake me when its over now!
Shes just a girl on the run hit the streets so undone
Mistreated under the sheets by her father
Keeps her heart cold & numb thoughts she cant overcome
Still she looks for the one that could save her
Now shes working it out in the corner of town
Between 7th and south you will find her
With her head in the clouds & her back on the ground
You know what its about when she says
Wake me when its over
Pick me up Im on the ground
Wake me when its over
Show me where the light is found
Wake me its over now!
Where are the fathers of the fatherless?
Now theyre speaking it out through the silence & doubt
Try to figure it out but get caught up
In the here and the now & the where & the how
You know what its about when the say
Wake me when its over
Pick me up Im on the ground
Wake me when its over
Show me where the light is found
Wake me its over
I swear I will not make a sound
Wake me when its over
Wake me when its over
Wake me when its over
Wake me, wake me, wake me, wake me
When its over
When its over
When its over
When its over
