"Wake Up" lyrics - JOSS STONE
[Intro: Joss Stone, Damian Marley]
Yo
Yup
One, two, three
Boom (Mm)
Thanks for stoppin' in
This ain't no pop, no, Mary Poppins' not a synonym (Ah, ah, ah, ah)
A-Jr. Gong and Joss Stone, the modern day Janis Jopli-in (La-da, da-da, da-da)
Come to tell you what is happenin'
If you've been tuning in
I'm assuming that you're unsatisfied (La-la, la-la, la-la)
Unless you don't know the root of the music from the beginning (Mm-mm-mm)
In this modern day test tube culture that we're livin' in (Ooh)
[Verse 1: Joss Stone, Damian Marley]
What is this nonsense I can't heart through?
This combination of money and fools
It's abominable (You tell 'em)
Uncontrollable
Remember the stage where the flower child rules?
And music was true so the people could choose
Then the suits took control
Promote a new low
[Pre-Chorus: Joss Stone, Backing Vocalists]
My life is a soundtrack to (My life is a soundtrack)
A beautiful movement, movement
Composed to get closer to (Composed to get closer)
A revolution
What are you doing?
[Chorus: Joss Stone, Damian Marley]
Wake up (Uh)
Tell me what is this nonsense [?]
Why can't we be conscious (No, no, no)
Of what we're feeding our people? [?] People
Just wake up (Huh)
Tell me what is this nonsense (Uh)
You killed the conscious
With your deliberate evil
[Verse 2: Joss Stone, Damian Marley]
What is this shit now we're forced to sit? [?]
The greenery gone and our soul got split
It's incredulous (Huh)
How your lyrics got prejudice
Cast your mind back to the sold out flick
When a couple of strings and a mic was it
It's a fashion-less show
Unbelievable
[Pre-Chorus: Joss Stone, Damian Marley, Backing Vocalists]
My life is a soundtrack to (My life is a soundtrack)
A beautiful movement
Composed to get closer to (Uh-huh) (Composed to get closer) (Yeah)
A revolution (That's right)
Tell me what are you doing
[Chorus: Joss Stone, Damian Marley]
Wake up (Boom)
Tell me what is this nonsense (No, no, no)
Why can't we be conscious (No, no, no)
Of what we're feeding our people? (Bullshit) People
Just wake up (Ah)
Tell me what is this nonsense (Uh)
You know that you killed the conscious
With your deliberate evil
[Bridge: Joss Stone, Damian Marley]
First they take your mind
Ambiguous and subliminal
What does singing have to do with my abdominals?
Better read the fine print in the peripherals - What?
Then they take your soul
Him and me lawyer come pen pals
Suddenly I hear funny signals
What a sneaky set of individuals - What?
And just before you know
You can't see no residuals
And those who say they have your back
You take it out a straight attack
And sell out for decimals
The whole of you is owned by somebody else
You screamin' for help
So shake up yourself
The call is comin' through
Some truth from me to you
[Chorus: Joss Stone]
Wake up
What is all of this nonsense?
Why can't we be conscious
Of what we're feeding our people? People
Now wake up
Someone tell me what's this nonsense
Oh, can't you be conscious
What you're feeding your people?
[Outro: Joss Stone, Backing Vocalists]
Ooh
(What are we feeding our...)
Ooh
(What are we feeding our...)
What's this nonsense?
(What are we feeding our people?)
Can't we be conscious?
(What are we feeding our...)
Of what we're feeding our
(What are we feeding our...)
What we're feeding our, nah-nonsense
(What are we feeding our people?)
Ooh, ooh
(What are we feeding our...)
Ooh
(What are we feeding our...)
What's this nonsense?
(What are we feeding our people?)
Can't we be conscious?
(What are we feeding our...)
(What are we feeding our...)
Can't we be?
(What are we feeding our people?)
Can't we be? Yeah
Now wake up
(What are we feeding our...)
(What are we feeding our...)
Wake up
(What are we feeding our people?)
Come on people now wake up
(What are we feeding our...)
(What are we feeding our...)
Wake up for me
(What are we feeding our people?)
Wake up for me, plea-
(What are we feeding our...)
Wake up
(What are we feeding our...)
(What are we feeding our people?)
Wake up, yeah
(What are we feeding our...)
Wake up
(What are we feeding our...)
Wake up
(What are we feeding our people?)
You got to be conscious
(Ah, I fucked up the ending)
