Lyrics

I walked for miles
So I could be
I climbed a mountain
Just so I could see
I searched for courage
I searched for proof
Looked for a leader 
Who’d stand and speak the truth
But there was none
And we still think we’re so free

I lit a fire
To watch it burn
Went on vacation
Never to return
It’s not the way
I wanted it to be
But I was afraid 
For my own privacy
‘Cause there was none
And we still think we’re so free

When do you think we’ll wake up
When do you think we’ll wake up
When do you think we’ll wake up
When do you think we’ll wake up

I want a car
A steady job
An endless line
Of people I can rob
Ain’t that the way 
That it’s supposed to be
There’s less for them
That means so much more for me
‘Til there was none
And we still think we’re so free

When do you think we’ll wake up
When do you think we’ll wake up
When do you think we’ll wake up
When do you think we’ll wake up

Tabs

Guitar

This is in some sort of low A tuning, and I have no idea whether they're still using 6 string guitars or if they're using 7s now. For the sake of 
simplicity, I tabbed this in 7 string drop A. It doesn't change the notes, obviously.
