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 the stars 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
I wish I knew then, what I know now
Wouldn’t dive-in, wouldn’t bow-down
Gravity hurts, you made it so sweet
‘Til I woke-up on, on the concrete
Falling from Cloud Nine
Crashing from the high
I'm letting-go tonight
Yeah, I'm falling from Cloud Nine (I'm wide-awake)
I'm wide-awake
Not losing any sleep
I picked up every piece
And landed on my feet (I'm wide-awake)
Need nothing to complete myself, no (I'm wide-awake)
Yeah, I am born-again
Out of the lion's-den
I don't have to pretend (And it's too late)
The story's over now -- The End
I wish I knew then, what I know now
Wouldn't dive-in, wouldn't bow-down
Gravity hurts, you made it so sweet
'Til I woke-up on, on the concrete
Falling from Cloud Nine (It was out of the blue)
I'm crashing from the high
I'm letting-go tonight (Yeah, I'm letting you go)
I'm falling from Cloud Nine (I'm wide-awake)
Thunder rumbling
Castles crumbling (I'm wide-awake)
I am trying to hold-on (I'm wide-awake)
God knows that I tried
Seeing the bright side (I'm wide-awake)
I'm not blind anymore
I'm wide-awake
I'm wide-awake
Falling from Cloud Nine (It was out of the blue)
I'm crashing from the high
I'm letting-go tonight (Yeah, I'm letting you go)
I'm falling from Cloud Nine (I'm wide-awake)
I'm wide-awake
I'm wide-awake
I'm wide-awake
I'm wide-awake
I'm wide-awake

This classic anarcho-punk band of the '90s L.A. angry-youth scene is still fronted by one of its 1990 founders, epically-righteously-irate &
very-vocal vocalist (& obvious Wanderer) Kirsten Patches (seen above, with co-founder Phil Suchomel, her late husband).

RIGHT NOW
So much war, so much destruction, lives are wasted for production
So much anger, so much hate, if things don't change the human race will end!
Will the '90s be another decade of apathy?
Are you going to sit-by and watch things get worse and worse?
NOOOOOO!!!
The rich will stop at nothing to control the world and keep their power
They all live like royalty at the expense of you and me!
RIGHT NOW in this New World Order
RIGHT NOW no one is free!
RIGHT NOW corporations own this world!
RIGHT NOW we are victims of their greed!
Buying-off the Government
Destroying the environment
Making sure there's not enough
So they can keep their prices up!
There's food rotting-away in warehouses while people starve to death!
Big Business won't give it to these people to save their lives
Because they won't make a profit!
AAAAAHHHHH!!!
Every country must obey what these corporations say!
If they choose not to comply, troops will be sent there and they will die!
RIGHT NOW in this New World Order
RIGHT NOW no one is free!
RIGHT NOW corporations own this world!
RIGHT NOW we are victims of their greed!
Are you prepared, do you have what it takes
To overlook your selfishness and create a better place?
FIRST WE MUST DESTROY THE SYSTEM!!!
RIGHT NOW in this New World Order
RIGHT NOW no one is free!
RIGHT NOW corporations own this world!
RIGHT NOW we are victims of their greed!
If things don't change, the human race will end!

Helpful YouTube-commenter's critique of above song:
"Good song but the message is for idiots who don't know anything. Still a good tune."
And there you have it!
Because what narrow thinkers imagine to be wisdom is
often seen by the Sufis to be folly, the Sufis in contrast
sometimes call themselves 'The Idiots'.
By a happy chance, too, the Arabic word for 'Saint' (wali)
has the same numerical equivalent as the word for 'Idiot' (balid).
So we have a double motive for regarding the Sufi great ones
as our own Idiots.
This book contains some of their knowledge.
