Wake me up

Wake me up when the storm has passed And the ravens have left the tower Wake me up when the war machine Has finally run out of power Wake me up when the bigots Have finally opened their eyes And all of the presidents have given up telling lies Wake me up when the tables have turned And lessons have been learned

Wake me up when the big game hunters Have finally paid for their crime Wake me up when the government Has found some reason and Rhyme Wake me up when the food banks Are finally obsolete

When all of the people have enough to eat Wake me up when the mines Are once more producing coal And all of the working classes can achieve their goal Wake me up when the NHS has plenty of money to burn Wake me up when the class rooms Are not to crowded to learn Wake me up when climate change Is taken seriously Wake me up when the media Doesn’t lie editorially

Wake me up when brexit is no longer the talk of the town When all of the hysteria has eventually died down Wake me up when the world is at peace When there is no fight to fight Wake me up when we see the demise of the despicable far right Wake me up when the world stands as one I don’t want to miss that sight

Wake me up when the worms have turned

And the power changes hands When songs of rejoice can be heard all across the lands Wake me up when Trident is no longer breaking the bank Wake me up when the love train has plenty of file in the tank.
