[Verse] \nForget about your mother and get on the boat now \nWe’ve got a brother to resurrect now \nIt’s been too long and I’m feelin’ weak \nSo shut your mouth and take a seat \nI mixed the juice and found the solution \nThe missing piece of our revolution \nI sold the crystal and I sold the gold \nTo buy a blanket in case he’s cold \n \n[Pre-Chorus] \nAnd just forget about the plans you’ve made \nI brought the shovels and spades \nLet’s go to the grave \n \n[Chorus] \nWell, he’s a straight-shootin’ mother, yeah \nWake up \nAnd he knows which songs to cover, yeah \nWake up \nEverybody’s gonna be there \nWake up \nHe’s an answer to our prayer, yeah \nWake up, wake up \n \n[Verse] \nWake up, John! It’s gonna be a riot \nA broken rocket with a wired pilot \nChocolate donuts and some Cadillacs \nWe’ll yell at demons and they’ll yell right back \nWe’ll drink the honey that the queen bee sent and \nWe’ll shoot the horse to piss of the sergeant \nWe’ll bring the lights and we’ll bring the sound \nWe’ll shake the island till it’s goin’ down \n \n[Pre-Chorus] \nAnd don’t you worry about getting bored \nI brought your Samurai sword \nAnd a song to record \n \n[Chorus] \nWell, you’re a straight-shootin’ mother, yeah \nWake up \nAnd you know which songs to cover, yeah \nWake up \nEverybody’s gonna be there \nWake up \nThe whole island’s goin’ under \nWake up, wake up, wake up \n \n[Bridge] \nWell, you may be gone \nBut rock ‘n’ roll lives on \n \n[Chorus] \nWell, you’re a straight-shootin’ mother, yeah \nWake up \nAnd you know which songs to cover, yeah \nWake up \nEverybody’s gonna be there \nWake up \nThe whole island’s going under \nWell, he’s a straight-shootin’ mother, yeah \nWake up \nAnd he knows which songs to cover, yeah \nWake up \nEverybody’s gonna be there \nWake up \nThe whole island’s goin' under\n\n
