When You Gonna Wake Up

The words

A list of society's hypocrisies, ending in a demand that the listener open their eyes.

The singer runs through what he sees as the hypocrisies of modern life, from false teachers and self-serving leaders to people who chase pleasure while ignoring what matters. Each verse adds new targets, and each chorus comes back to the same blunt question of when the listener will finally rouse themselves and act. It is less a lament than a confrontation, delivered with the force of a preacher pounding the pulpit over a hard-driving band.
