When You Gonna Wake Up? (Live July 9, 1981)

God don’t make no promises that He don’t keep You got some big dreams, baby, but in order to dream you gotta still be asleep Chorus When you are going to wake up, when you going to wake up When you are going to wake up and strengthen the things that remain Verse 2 Counterfeit philosophies have polluted all of your thoughts Karl Marx has got ya by the throat and Henry Kissinger’s got you tied up in knots Chorus Verse 3 You got innocent men in jail, your insane asylums are filled You got unrighteous doctors dealing drugs that’ll never cure your ills Chorus Verse 4 You got men who can’t hold their peace and women who can’t control their tongues The rich seduce the poor and the old are seduced by the young Chorus Verse 5 Adulterers in churches and pornography in the schools You got gangsters in power and lawbreakers making rules Chorus Verse 6 Spiritual advisors and gurus to guide your every move Instant inner peace and every step you take has got to be approved Chorus Verse 7 Do you ever wonder just what God requires You think He’s just an errand boy to satisfy your wandering desires Chorus Verse 8 You can’t take it with you and you know that it’s too worthless to be sold They tell you, “Time is money,” as if your life was worth its weight in gold Chorus Verse 9 There’s a Man up on a cross and He’s been crucified for you Beleive in His power, it's all about you got to do Chorus
