Songtexte When You Gonna Wake Up? (Live in Toronto) - Bob Dylan
God don't make promises that He don't keep
You got some big dreams baby, but to dream you gotta still be asleep
When you gonna wake up
When you gonna wake up
When you gonna wake up
Strengthen the things that remain?
Counterfeited philosophies have polluted all of your thoughts
Karl Marx has got you by the throat and Henry Kissinger's got you wrapped up in to knots
When you gonna wake up
When you gonna wake up
When you gonna wake up
Strengthen the things that remain?
You got innocent men in jail, your insane asylums are filled
Unrighteous doctors dealing drugs that'll never cure your ills
When you gonna wake up
When you gonna wake up
When you gonna wake up
Strengthen the things that remain?
Spiritual advisors and gurus to make you hold your breath
Every step you take leads you right down to your death
When you gonna wake up
(Ooh...)
When you gonna wake up
Strengthen the things that remain?
Adulterers in churches and pornography in the schools
Gangsters in power and lawbreakers making rules
When you gonna wake up
When you gonna wake up
When you gonna wake up
Strengthen the things that remain?
Can't take it with you and you know that it's too worthless to be sold
They tell you, "Time is money" as if your life was worth its weight in gold
When you gonna wake up
When you gonna wake up
When you gonna wake up
Strengthen the things that remain?
Do you ever wonder just what God requires?
You think He's just an errand boy to satisfy your wandering desires
Well, when you gonna wake up
When you gonna wake up
Strengthen the things that remain?
There's a man up on a cross and He's been crucified for you
You know who he is and you know why he died
When you gonna wake up
When you gonna wake up
When you gonna wake up
Strengthen the things that remain?
When you gonna wake up
When you gonna wake up
When you gonna wake up
Strengthen the things that remain?
When you gonna wake up?
