Wake up young man, it's time to wake up 
Your love affair has got to go 
For 10 long years, for 10 long years 
The leaves to rake up 
Slow suicide's no way to go, oh 
Blue, clouded grey 
You're not a crack up 
Dizzy and weakened by the haze 
Moving onward 
So an infection not a phase 
Yeah, oh 

The cracks and lines from where you gave up 
They make an easy man to read, oh 
For all the times you let them bleed you 
For little peace from God you plead, and beg 
For little peace from God you plead 
Ahhaahh, Yeah, Ahhaahh, Yeah, Ahhaahh, Yeah 

Wake up young man, wake up, wake up 
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up 
Oh, yeah 

Wake up young man, it's time to wake up 
Your love affair has got to go, yeah 
For 10 long years, for 10 long years, 
The leaves to rake up 
Slow suicide's no way to go, oh 
Slow suicide's no way to go 
Wake up, wake up, wake up 
Wake up, wake up, wake up
