AFI - Wake-Up Call Lyrics

If I had my way I'd wish them away
But I can't find the magic inside of me
I'll give my best, 'cause I can give no more
But your problems aren't solved so easily

I'm not someone that you should run to
I've been often as broken as you
More often than you'd like me to

If I could heal all the pain that you feel
I'd gladly cure all that ails you inside
Unfortunately, I have no degree
And I can not anesthetize

I'm not someone that you should run to
I've been often as broken as you
More often than you'd like me to

I wish that I could help you
I can't even help myself
It seems you need a saving grace
And a savior's something I'm not
Right

I wish that I could help you
I can't even help myself
It seems you need a saving grace
And a savior's something I'm not

I wish that I could help youuuuu....I can’t even help MYSELF!....epic lyrics
I added this a second ago.....a single second hahahaha blah

"Seems you need a saving grace a saviors something Im not"

Ok I get that they evolved and changed but why do they NEVER perform the songs from this album live?!!!!

Because they sold the fuck out for $

I ordered this album out of Thrasher magazine when it came out. Ahhhh, old people memories

Good old days

Awesome song! Reminds me kinda of Offspring.

jack sloan sang this in 1997 ! shit was real

I believe that this is a song that Jesus, if reincarnated, would sing to his mainstream followers.

Wish they would go back to these wicked roots!

John Belmont ugh SAME

by far the best song on this album

FUCK YES to bad they had to become chicks

I rebought this album recently so when i have kids, and my kids are 15 ill give them this cd and they will hear REAL music :D

Yeah, I guess if you were lucky enough to know AFI before they had mainstream success, it would be kinda shocking. I found them with Sing the Sorrow and worked my way backwards.

Same and I am honestly just a little weirded out

dude you go from this to who the fuck knows what to call it...it hits hard.

Every top comment on every song from every one of their earlier albums is someone whining about how they changed. *Sigh*.

Sean Linkoln not all

I guess Sean likes the dixie chicks too?

This song just popped in my head today. I tried to run from it like that guy on the album cover, but I couldn't resist. This is good stuff.

DAT BASS!!!!

@flabbyballsack Don't make such a claim if your username is "Flabby ball sack"

@RPhoton wtf kind of comment is that? afi go hard boy? geez go back to solja boy or whatever it is you prefer these days.

@RPhoton why? cos they changed their image? its about the music, and they've always evolved, and played what they like

@Melvin0082 you're daddy's lady of the night

@Melvin0082 TELL me about it...

@ugoodHomeBoy hey im a miss murder "idiot" i first heard of afi when playing guitar hero and that was the first song i heard, and when i gave this stuff a chance i loved it, i now love punk whereas before i could only listen to u2 and the killers

Great song! so overlooked.

hardcore AFI is the best!

too bad they look and sound like chix now miss them

lol i hate typing in wake up call and getting some shit maroon5

the beatles 'changed' thru decades and u can damn well trace this band, as well as all others, straight to the beatles. artform

1 dislike, i think someone was expecting emo shit

paul .. I was, but I kinda like this. I was not the one who disliked it

I love this album, I love everything AFI has done, I don't care that they changed because thats why I love them so much because they have the skill and talent to create amazing music no matter what genre they are. AFI WAS AMAZING, STILL IS AMAZING, AND WILL FOREVER BE AMAZING!!!!! <3

@joleflifl Actually, the first two years or so of it, it was pretty much an underground tour. If I'm not mistaken, many of the venues were even free. I know I went to it, in different cities, for free during the first two years. Don't get me wrong, I hate what it has become, and I haven't been since 99 when things really started going commercial.

@livinndarkness i agree wit all u sed except for Municipal Waste..they are great thrash..the new album is amazing..all the shit they have is great

what a fucking classic album

Wait a minute...are you saying Municipal Waste isn't good anymore? I'm sorry, but are you fucking joking? Massive Aggressive is a great album, their songwriting keeps getting better and better.

Blink 182 were doing the indie/punk thing for years before they got big. They played Warped when it was still a commercial free event - Where the only booths were small merch booths by the bands themselves. Oh how those were the days. But yeah, Blink did change. I'd say Chesire Cat was a pop punk album - then Mark got all emo from that point on

their old stuff was though

afi was at their best during black sails in the sunset, all hallow's ep, and the art of drowning.

Agreed.

pipiansudado007

how could you not know??

hmm?

their first song on an album over three minutes was the cure cover on a fire inside ep.

man thay dident have vary many long songs
back then
