I’m one of those people who tends to wake up full of energy. So what was that song doing, playing in my head:
Waking up is hard to do
I recognized the melody. Happy, upbeat, bouncy, though about a potential break-up - Breaking up is hard to do. (I’ll give link at the end to the original song.)
Here’s what I was hearing. The singers are people waking up.
WAKING UP IS HARD TO DO
let’s give waking up
another try
‘cause now we know
we’ve been living a liebut waking up is hard to do
we gotta see
it’s not true
what we’ve been told
big bad liesall the news
big fat lies
and we can’t hide
we took the shots
took poisons
insidewaking up is hard to do
but we see
we see that it’s true
that they fed us
big fat lieswe took the shots
the poison pills
now people dieit hurts
but it’s true
to know we believed
their big fat liespoliticians and doctors too
everyone on the newswaking up is hard to do
we believed
when they liedwe believed
we were sheep fast asleep
lined up for kill shotsnow we see
so many diewe wanna give
sleep
another try
but now we know
we go to sleep
maybe death comes bywaking up is hard to do
we were deceived
we believed
and now friends die
from swallowing
a big fat liedon’t want to believe
we’ve been deceived
took the shots
and now we diewake up world wide
we bought lies
poison shots
connect the dots
let’s give waking up
a try
‘cause now we know
we’ve been living a liebut waking up is hard to do
we gotta see
it’s not true
what we’ve been told
big bad liesbut waking up is hard to do
