Woke Up Dead

[Lyrics by Ron Mann]   ©2012 CHA Promotions

You could have been special, much more complete
You could have made a difference, left the path of deceit
You had such a hunger, you had so much style
Things came so easy; the case never went to trial 

Someday you’re gonna’ listen, to all you have said
Will it be the morning that you woke up dead
Someday you’re gonna’ care, a day you’re gonna’ dread
Will it be the morning that you woke up dead 

You delivered on time, no lines out of place
As soft as a whisper, still yelling in my face
Fallen angels and memories haunt our minds
Everyone is special but we are two different kinds

Someday you’re gonna’ listen, to all you have said
Will it be the morning that you woke up dead
Someday you’re gonna’ care, a day you’re gonna’ dread
Will it be the morning that you woke up dead 

Standing on the gallows yet you shake your head
You could have had a kingdom but chose this instead
You heard the whistle blowing yet stood on the track
It’s hard to trust somebody with this knife in my back

You could have been special, much more complete
You could have made a difference, left the path of deceit
You had such a hunger, you had so much style
Things came so easy; the case never went to trial 

Someday you’re gonna’ listen, to all you have said
Will it be the morning that you woke up dead
Someday you’re gonna’ care, a day you’re gonna’ dread
Will it be the morning that you woke up dead
