"I'm Wide Awake" Dedicated To All The Disillusioned Obama Voters

I dedicate Katy Perry's "I'm Wide Awake" to all the disillusioned, former Barack Obama voters. I thought the lyrics were particularly fitting. I tweaked them a bit, but didn't have to change much.  See below, and follow along with the song.








"Wide Awake"


I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake

I'm wide awake
Yeah, I was in the dark
I was falling hard
With an open heart
I'm wide awake
How did I read Barack so wrong?
I'm wide awake
And now it's clear to me
That everything you see
Ain't always what it seems
I'm wide awake
Yeah, I was dreaming for so long

[Pre-Chorus]
I wish I knew then
What I know now
Wouldn't vote in
Wouldn't bow down
Gravity hurts
He made it so sweet
'Til I woke up on
On the concrete

[Chorus]
Falling from cloud 9
Crashing from the high
I'm letting go tonight
Yeah, I'm falling from cloud 9

I'm wide awake
Not losing any sleep
Obama's gotta go
Along with his dumb veep
I'm wide awake
Don't need 'em to complete myself, no

I'm wide awake
Yeah, I am born again
Out of Obama's den
I don't have to pretend
And it's too late
The story's over now, the end

[Pre-Chorus]
I wish I knew then
What I know now
Wouldn't vote in
Wouldn't bow down
Gravity hurts
"O" made it so sweet
'Til I woke up on
On the concrete

[Chorus]
Falling from cloud 9 (it was out of the blue)
Crashing from the high
I'm letting go tonight
I'm falling from cloud 9

I'm wide awake
Thunder rumbling
U.S. crumbling
I'm wide awake
I am trying to hold on
I'm wide awake
God knows that I tried
Seeing "O's" bright side
I'm wide awake
But I'm not blind anymore...

I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake

[Chorus]
Yeah, I'm falling from cloud 9 (it was out of the blue)
I'm crashing from the high
You know I'm letting go tonight (yeah, I'm letting "O" go)
I'm falling from cloud 9

I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake
