Family Force 5 - Wake The Dead Lyrics






[Verse 1:]
I got opposition every single day
You always want the same thing done the same old way
Funny how you always think you're always right
Who died and made you God, and did it happen overnight?

[B Verse 1:]
Don't dance like that anymore
Don't wear those clothes anymore
Don't take that stance anymore
Turn it down, do what you're told
If it's too loud, well then you must be too old

[Chorus:]
Wake up the dead now
Make 'em roll in their graves now
Shake up the dead now
Rising up from the ground
Wake 'em up, shake 'em down

[Verse 2:]
You like to watch and judge my life up on the screen
You figured out what goes on behind the scenes
Got a rumor that you want to show and tell
Nobody's gonna buy the lie you're trying to sell

[B Verse 2:]
Don't talk like that anymore
Don't speak your mind anymore
Don't think those thoughts anymore
Turn it down, do what you're told
If it's too loud, well then you must be too old

[Bridge:]
Wake up you sleepy heads get out of bed
If we make some noise we'll wake the dead

Make 'em roll in their graves when they hear this sound
Raise 'em up from the ground, turn 'em upside down

Family Force 5 Wake The Dead Comments
  1. L.... ....

    This is the second FF5 song I've listened to. The first was How In The World. I'm starting to wonder whether those two songs were actually made by the same group.

  2. D.... R....

    I wish I was older when this was Family Force 5.

  3. G.... K....

    Looking through these comments and wow

  4. O.... G....

    HANDS DOWN FAVORITE SONG ON EARTH 900000 TIMES THIS WILL NEVER GET OLD EVER!!!!

  5. O.... K....

    This is my personality man. and this is my favorite song

  6. M.... C....

    this song is like my personality 😎

  7. I.... B....

    muito bom!!!
    amei a banda!!!
    que Deus abençoe!!!

  8. I.... B....

    muito bom!!!
    amei a banda!!!
    que Deus abençoe!!!

  9. J.... F....

    awesome

    J.... F....

    um no its clearly Christian.I dont think ff5 would appreciate that comment .there are enough people who say just because they dont sing the old stuff like hymns they are worshipping the devil.

  10. J.... F....

    boss song

  11. n.... ....

    Wake up the dead now. Either the dead, as in those who are waiting for the rapture or those who are dead in Christ and need awakening. Either it's awesome. I am not too old....I'm 45 and I get it. Modern day metaphor....we have the right to express our beliefs....any beliefs....but it's starting to feel like condemnation if you are proud to say you believe in Christ! So if you are proud...TURN IT UP!

    n.... ....

    Proud to be a Christian ;)

    n.... ....

    yea ima Christian and im PROUD OF IT !!!

    n.... ....

    Proud to be christian for life. Its actually a great song religiously about waking those whom are dead in christ.

    n.... ....

    *Christ

    n.... ....

    It's actually just about older generations usually being critical of the younger

  12. G.... S....

    fun fact: family force 5 is actually an american satanist rock band

    G.... S....

    Family Force 5 is NOT a satanist rock band. I went to a CHRISTIAN conference and they performed. The reason they make their songs the way they do is so that they can get the attention of people who are not Christians. At the conference, they actually took a moment to speak about God. Their main thing is to be who God made you to be. That is why they just act like their true selves.

    G.... S....

    its a joke

    G.... S....

    Besides that this song is about waking those whom are dead in Christ.

    G.... S....

    Juicy Thrax lol so much hate. Good joke though.

    G.... S....

    that's not really funny..........

  13. R.... C....

    Stupid religious arguments.. I've been both baptized and confimated (I think that's the word for it?), but never believed in anything, other than the fact that this is an awesome song.

    R.... C....

    @Rav Caol I think the word you're looking for is confirmed.

    R.... C....

    @Siobhan Sweeney Yah, that one. Thanks. :)

  14. t.... ....

    I would like to dedicate this song to my teachers.

  15. M.... T....

    how exactly does wake the dead tie to christianity ??

    M.... T....

    Nothing. Family Force 5 are all christians, though they write/make music for people's enjoyment.

    M.... T....

    @salvatoreheart oh ok :) thankyou 

    M.... T....

    Actually it's about those being reborn in Christ. or so they told me when I asked them. I think it's also talking about religious folk and the small box they want to put Christianity in.

    M.... T....

    When not a Christian, you are spiritually dead, and when you accept Christ as your Lord and Savior, you have eternal life.

  16. K.... ....

    SONG: If it's too loud, well, Then you must be too old!

    ME: *cranks up the volume*

    K.... ....

    +Killerrnx2 my volume cant go up anymore.

    K.... ....

    I broke the button, can't make it go louder. Damn.

    K.... ....

    @Alec Guinan get louder speakers?

    K.... ....

    Killerrnx2 YAS!!!!! (i broke the replay button)

  17. d.... m....

    scroll up and enjoy the song >:|

  18. M.... S....

    You people are arguing about being Christian os Aethiest, but your forgetting the point of the song. It's just about breaking free and being free from stupid shit!

    M.... S....

    I AGREE JUST SHUT UP AND LISTEN TO MUSIC +3-=_=-3+

    M.... S....

    @Eugin phillips i strongly disagree with both of you

    M.... S....

    @Maggie K your mom 

  19. R.... ....

    @ATHEISTS: IF IT'S TOO LOUD WELL THEN YOU MUST BE TOO OLD! ~Sincerely, the Christians

    R.... ....

    And the Catholics!

    R.... ....

    You don't think an atheist would love this song too?

    R.... ....

    @christian: It's not loud enough...
    ~Sincerely, random person.

    R.... ....

    @*****
    What's religious programing mean?

    R.... ....

    @RevanChristian This is stupid...

  20. p.... t....

    Omg I love this song!

  21. K.... T....

    It actually reminds me of my mom telling me what to do:/........

  22. K.... T....

    I LOVE THIS DAMN SONG!!!!!!!!!!!

  23. T.... ....

    siLveRscOpe13x you say only 2.1 people in the world are christian, How do you have .1 of a person?

    T.... ....

    2.1 of people, as in 2.1 of the population.

    T.... ....

    @Venomous Incorporated Um, its one-third of the entire world that are Christians. And why does it matter? The song is amazing and even though im a Christian, I think these stupid religion arguments are stupid. Just enjoy the song!

    T.... ....

    @ThexNegativexZero This is super of topic, but I really like your profile picture. :P

  24. A.... L....

    Shut up with all the Christian nonsence. This song is about breaking free from in intolarable rule!

  25. F.... ....

    It's estimated that 2.1 people in the world are Christian. There are 7 billion people. That's not a majority.

  26. R.... J....

    As I was saying... WHY do I like this song so much? I keep playing it D:

  27. R.... J....

    you realize that Christians are the huge majority, right? I mean... If they're saying "don't follow the majority just because you're told to", well... Do the math.

    All these people pulling stuff out of their butts about this song being christian aside,

  28. K.... L....

    could everyone look deeper into the song
    they're telling us not to follow the ways of the world and fall into sin and spend eternity in hell. If you criticize as a christian you're just as bad as non-believers. Look deeper dont go surface deep. This is what I say as a christian who once struggled but has found God

  29. K.... C....

    i love this song but i makes me think that stripper zombies should be dancing to it lol XD

  30. j.... b....

    I know right!

  31. J.... J....

    Just stop complaining and listen to them, then.

  32. T.... D....

    Lol you forgot something

  33. M.... G....

    they have a song called zombie

  34. A.... F....

    You know what would be mind blowing? If they put this on Resident Evil.

  35. A.... F....

    crazy...i've seen them in concert 18 times, own all their albums, have every single cover photo, and I still can't get enough of them.

  36. A.... ....

    play this song then roll into Zombie... perfect

  37. C.... R....

    This reminds me of TheWalkingDead


  38. l.... ....

    "If it's to loud, then you must be to old" is my senior yearbook quote ;)

  39. L.... U....

    They are actually. I met them in person and asked. They're a cross-over band.

  40. A.... M....

    bullshit

  41. S.... S....

    Dead to sin, Alive in Christ/God!!

  42. D.... U....

    That's their fault for judging you :)

  43. H.... W....

    I saw them in concert there amazing live but I think this was one of my favorite songs they played

  44. A.... F....

    hahaha...me...yesterday I blared this in front of the Health and Welfare building in the parking lot...they've been in our lives for 2 years and now it's getting to the point where they're holding it back because of my weight...that's how ridiculous the family services is here in Idaho....

  45. C.... S....

    Love this song so much. I'd say its my favorite,but what about the other songs by Family Force Five? ^_^

  46. P.... ....

    Technically, you'd have to kill God to become God. And we've already tried that and it didn't work... BOO-YAH!!!!

  47. J.... M....

    @tabatha mullins Hit the cray button

  48. C.... M....

    This is a awesome song, so don't bash on it

  49. C.... M....

    Guys!! What's with the fighting? Here... Think of it as spiritual, not physical.... Make sense now??

  50. v.... ....

    Oooohhhhhh i get it now!
    Haneebee = Honey bee! right? It sounds like it if you say like simon from the yogscast, or brian blessed.

  51. D.... J....

    Parents: Turn down our music its too loud
    Me: If its to loud your too old
    Parents: go to your room ad urn if down!
    Me: (walking to my room and singing) If its too loud then you must be too old

  52. t.... m....

    rape the reply button!!!!

  53. p.... ....

    I can't tell if they're saying you should do that stuff or if they're mocking their elders.... :O

  54. H.... p....

    I love this song too

  55. A.... ....

    @_@ this song is oddly addictive. -fails at dancing to it while i ignore the children fight over the internet about music-

  56. n.... a....

    I believe that this song is referring to trying to wake up the spiritually dead and to like open up their eyes to what is there.

  57. a.... ....

    @vampiregirl1700 agreed and it's always happening to me everyday

  58. E.... P....

    Lyric correction at 1:06 it says: You like to watch and judge my life upon the screen. but here in the video it says You like to watch and thats my life upon the screen :P Fix it bro

  59. E.... P....

    IT IS ZOMBIES U IDIOT XD

  60. T.... ....

    this group is amazing! this is my absolute FAVORITE song!!!!!!!!1

  61. A.... V....

    umm..ok lol

  62. S.... T....

    oh no i did.

  63. A.... V....

    lol but you didn't get the joke!

  64. S.... T....

    than get better/bigger speakers

  65. A.... V....

    It's full volume and it's still not loud enough!!

  66. f.... ....

    I am exeptionally happy now...I managed to get to here directly from Of Mice & Men....YES!!!

  67. A.... V....

    What genre of music do FF5 play?

  68. S.... H....

    i love ff5... talk about amazeing...

  69. H.... ....

    I think Mindless self indulgence is the most behaved.

  70. m.... ....

    I tried making sense of the lyric and it seems these guys are just making a rebellious statement, I was thinking at the beginning of the song they would at any moment start talking about waking up those that are spiritually dead/asleep but just didn't happen...

    "Superhero" is more direct when he mentions the spark aflame that has been breathed inside of him (the singer)-- which he might receive from God(???) although he doesn't say the name he will call on...Jesus, maybe??? Bit vague for me IMO

  71. B.... B....

    I love ur music taste <33333333333333333 haha

  72. J.... C....

    FF5 is the new Genre of music.

  73. S.... F....

    I love that My Chemical Romance is in the suggestion column. I can't tell you how happy that makes me. MCRmy and FF5 Fanatic FOREVER!

  74. S.... F....

    I'm seeing them in two weeks at Creation Fest Northwest. CAN'T WAIT!!!

  75. S.... F....

    Certain songs do, but they can be looked at from a secular view also. They're not like throwing God in their fans' faces. Which is kind of cool. You can get the awesome sound, listen to it from a Christian or secular point of view, and not have a bunch of junk in the songs. I love it.

  76. B.... o....

    240p, we meet again!

  77. M.... ....

    agreed!

  78. Z.... ....

    It was genius when someone came up with it in the 80s. Now it's just cheesy.

  79. G.... ....

    First saw these guys at Sonshine (epic christian music festival)!!!

  80. x.... ....

    I should play this at 5 in the morning :)

  81. N.... ....

    Funny, I was just told to turn the music down.
    NOW I WANNA TURN IT UP

  82. J.... ....

    me too :P

  83. D.... ....

    I thought I was the only one.

  84. G.... ....

    I like the remix much better then this version

  85. M.... D....

    oh yea it is!!! XD

  86. M.... ....

    And my first thought was "this must be about zombies" XD

  87. s.... ....

    "LMFAO" are only wannabe's and only dream of dreaming of being this awesome party rockers

  88. S.... G....

    "Funny how you always think you're always right! Who died and made you God, and did it happen overnight?" Yup, feelin' it.

  89. r.... ....

    i wish they would still screamo in all their new songs :((

  90. M.... R....

    I wasn't saying you had a problem with them. Just making a general statement. I didn't intend for it to sound like I was attacking you personally. Sorry MisterRisenAngel

  91. M.... R....

    @MisterRisenAngel whats wrong with girl singers? I didnt know it mattered if you were a female. Are females not supposed to sing? I don't get it.

  92. S.... ....

    Favorite song :)

  93. m.... ....

    Oh hot damn... Do you think I can get arrested for raping a replay button? Cuz damn if I can, I'm screwed (;

  94. J.... C....

    I could not find any lyrics for the mix of this song, so I used Itunes and this song turned it down and turned Itunes up!

    thanks so much bro!

  95. s.... ....

    THIS song is awesome!!! by the way im going to start a channel soon so stay tooned and check it out!
