The Arcade Fire - Funeral - Wake Up

ARTIST: The Arcade Fire
SONG: Wake Up
ALBUM: Funeral
LYRICS:
Somethin' filled up
my heart with nothin',
someone told me not to cry.

But now that I'm older,
my heart's colder,
and I can see that it's a lie.

Children wake up,
hold your mistake up,
before they turn the summer into dust.

If the children don't grow up,
our bodies get bigger but our hearts get torn up.
We're just a million little god's causin rain storms turnin' every good thing to rust.

I guess we'll just have to adjust.

With my lighnin' bolts a glowin'
I can see where I am goin' to be
when the reaper he reaches and touches my hand.

With my lighnin' bolts a glowin'
I can see where I am goin'
With my lighnin' bolts a glowin'
I can see where I am go-goin'

@glitterfish82 it's not just youtube

the whole world's gone to shit

it's as if racism is acceptable, sexism is acceptable, and all the other retarded things that fuck people's lives up. :./

@Thebeginingisner ohmygod.

"children don't grow up; our bodies get bigger, but our hearts get torn up" brings a little tear to my eye every time. Make me think back to those innocent childhood years, ignorant to the world problems and yet so impossibly happy. ( i wanted to be simba as a child)

[KoolaidAcidKat]

@ohdanglindsy you forgot about "as if killing is acceptable"

[RAMLIA1]

Awesome ♥ 

[WhateveImBored]

This sounds just like a song for lent we would sing at my church... does any one else know what I mean?

It's still an amazing song

[iwasbornspecial]

i thought they always try to hard to make a statement of some sort, and portray there medium skills for making music. i do really like this song though. maybe i will continue to listen, to others.

[RiverIce1]

This song reminds me of how the world is going down hill. How people are going to computors and never go outside. People are calling people names and calling people fat. We all have those days when we arn't our best, I know, but every day I see people getting beat up (physically, and verbly). Are we gonna let those people do that?

You don't have to like this or anything, Just notice it, don't just listen to the first sentence and say, "This is the most shit I've read in a day!"

Cuz it ain't...

@dlp2012 And calling people things is acceptable?
