Suicidal Tendencies - If I Don't Wake Up Lyrics






Why do I wake up in the morning-nothing's changed since the day of my birth
Why do I wake up in the morning-I make no difference on this earth

Strength has left-has to be-something has died inside of me

If I don't wake up in the morning-at my funeral would anyone care
If I don't wake up in the morning-would anyone even be there

You can put me down-you can put me out, you can try to ignore
But now you're gonna hear me when I shout WAKE UP

Why should I wake up in the morning-it be just another wasted day
Why should I wake up in the morning-don't do nothing right anyway

That was then-not anymore-now I go blasting out the door

I'm gonna wake up in the morning-I'll prove you wrong I will not fail
I'm gonna wake up in the morning-I'm gonna blaze a brand new trail

Might not be smart, but if I'm strong
I know for sure no one ever will prove me wrong

    Saw ST in the Glasgow Art College Nov 1988, then drove to Manchester in 1989 to see them on the "feel like shit" tour with MOD and mr Billy Milano starting it off.....shit......what fucking days.....one lucky bastard to still be here. And see Faith No More in the Edinburgh Venue in September 89..... superb times

    Sounds like the truth if you ask me.

  21. K.... ....

    Rocky George is one amazing guitar player , and doesn't get enough credit for it !!

  22. M.... V....

    Straight up, this song and other ST songs helped get me out of my lowest low. I was so close to killing myself, but ST's music made me realise that i wasn't the only one feeling like i was, and that made me realise it was ok to feel like that sometimes.

    Keep on keeping on though. Things might not be great now, but they might be a little better in the future, and that's something to hang on to.

  23. d.... ....

    So underrated its gross.

  24. T.... S....

    Rocky George is a god at guitar

  25. M.... V....

    This band and this song in particular helped me get through some really dark times.

  26. K.... S....

    get tougher dagger again u still rule

  27. B.... S....

    Listened to this album while playing Tecmo Bowl w/buddies. Amazed we didn't destroy my ma's furniture.

  28. s.... g....

    master of puppets?

  29. D.... ....

    There’s some things you’re not supposed to talk about...
    like all the things I ever think about.
    I get so tired I just want to sleep, slip away in a trance so deep.
    Feel my soul floating free, no more pain left in me,
    and if I sleep until tomorrow,
    will I even care to wake up in sorrow,
    cause I missed another day,
    I probably wouldn't remember it anyway,
    well, seems like the world is leaving me behind,
    when I try to explain, you say I lost my mind,
    you say I need some help,
    Well why else do you think it's going to do,
    you guess you know it's true,
    I get no help from you,
    so I sit and think about the things that I'm not supposed to talk about,
    thinking and thinking and thinking and thinking, never no progress, I know I'm not the only one...WAKE UP

  30. i.... P....

    Love this album.
    One little note: It's "never no progress", not "never no programs".

    i.... P....

    well thx for that-

  31. R.... B....

    4-life.

  32. W.... D....

    EXCELLENT ALBUM

  33. M.... L....

    Slept 11 years of my life away in the past,due to heroin addiction...Wished I had every second of that time back.Great song !!!

    M.... L....

    I've spent a lot of time not in reality.I'm glad u made it back

    M.... L....

    I've spent a lot of time not in reality.I'm glad u made it back

    M.... L....

    No more pain left in me--
    Stay strong man-

    M.... L....

    Welcome back brother I've been down that path too stay strong

  34. N.... ....

    This really sounds like the over-sleeping stage of depression when you just want to sleep to waste away the time, because you're numb when you're asleep. Then when you snap out of it, or try to go back to going through the day like a functioning person, you feel like you've been left behind and everyone's moved on. But you really do need strong will to get out of that habit and I think that's what these lyrics are trying to convey. Just my opinion.

    N.... ....

    totally

    N.... ....

    Yeh I think you're on to something there. The lyrics kind of fit.

  35. A.... B....

    Fuck me !

    A.... B....

    OK bebe . Hit me up 😆

  36. L.... C....

    let me sleep....

  37. J.... B....

    Wake Up

  38. J.... F....

    666 likes! Shame someone will fuck it up.

  39. T.... m....

    wow just wow

  40. L.... G....

    amazing solo kicking all of asses

  41. j.... f....

    love this fucking song

  42. N.... D....

    One of my favorite songs... You know I'm not the only one!

  43. F.... L....

    Wake Up! :)

  44. b.... ....

    best ever.

  45. F.... B....

    Controlled buy hatred..you can not not love that lol. Man/woman  I am remembering things that i buried but still exist. They resurface later  :P

  46. F.... B....

    As with this song..Now i'll go blasting out the  door..but how can you judge us when you did not wait to HEAR the end message..ok now that is all..for now lol

  47. F.... B....

    Most people listen long enough to form an opinion then denounce. With suicidal like "I'll still wake up" and "the Feelings Back"..if they bother to listen to the message...shrugs..then again that makes me think. Do I want these people to understand? If they can not listen to it then they never really wanted to HEAR. I stand by my brothers and sisters who get the message and all of us who been there...God bless or whomever you choose to follow..much love to you all..that is all :P

    F.... B....

    @Frank Black Well said!

    F.... B....

    Thank you..and one last thing..to those who get the message..the young ones especially..it does get better and you have to make it better yourself. Assume no one understands you, but in reality most adults have been there it is just something they do not want to remember. We all go through it. Life for everyone sucks at one point. You will be ok.

  48. P.... P....

    The way I deciphered the lyrics was: (Not that it matters...)

    There's something's you're not suppose to talk about, like all the things I ever think about.

    I get so tired I just wanna sleep, sleep away in a trance so deep. Feel my soul floating free, no more pain left in me. And if I sleep until tomorrow would I even care to wake up in sorrow cause I missed another day? I probably won't remember it anyway. Well, it seems like the world is leaving me behind, when I try to explain you say I lost my mind, you say I need some help, well what else do you think it's gonna do you gotta know it's true, no help from you. So I sit and think about the things I'm not suppose to talk about. Thinking and thinking and thinking and thinking. Never know progress and I know I'm not the only one... WAKE UP!

    P.... P....

    Hell yeah, man. You nailed it. I love every song on this album.

    P.... P....

    @joelawson33 Same here man. True Masterpiece.

  49. B.... C....

    One of their best. "WAKE UP" ... The guitar screams on this one...

  50. F.... B....

    Saved my life when I was younger...The message is you can pull yourself up. I am at the moment in some conflict and this reminds me of where I used to be...Wake UP

    F.... B....

    I've been saying this for years, these songs pulled me out of so much shit. It's a Damn shame they couldn't hold this sound. 

    F.... B....

    @MrJoeyHopalong Amen my friend.

    F.... B....

    Sad thing is these songs could help some others, but have been lost in time and that is sad...

    F.... B....

    +Frank Black Not the only one....

    F.... B....

    it hasn't stopped reaching people, I just found this.

  51. C.... S....

    It's "never no progress" , I know I'm not the only one. Theres a few others but ya can fix them at some point.

  52. b.... ....

    Lyrics are all wrong

  53. u.... ....

    I am figuring the reason this is probably not allowed to be shared on face book is because they never listend to the whole song and never heard a word the church of suicidal has ever said does it bother us I have a feeling it doesnot anyway that is  what i gather  STAY SUICIDAL 4 LIFE

    u.... ....

    Most people listen long enough to form an opinion then denounce. With suicidal like "I'll still wake up" and "the Feelings Back"..if they bother to listen to the message...shrugs..then again that makes me think. Do I want these people to understand? If they can not listen to it then they never really wanted to HEAR. I stand by my brothers and sisters who get the message and all of us who been there...God bless or whomever you choose to follow..much love to you all..that is all :P

  54. S.... L....

    suicidal a brest en octobre...je vai encore perdre 20 ans....CYCO4LIFE
    FANGROSSE

  55. N.... B....

    One of the best albums ever. Great guitars ever...

  56. P.... B....

    hes not in my book. one of the greats

  57. T.... ....

    There´s a bit of hope in the end of the lyrics, very good, love this band. I wish I could stay in the 80´s and 90´s :(

  58. H.... O....

    If your going to go call people JB loving pussies... go to a JB video. This is a Suicidal Tendencies video, therefore you will find Suicidal Tendencies fans here, not bieber fans. Trolls have no place here

  59. t.... ....

    don't bring that here
    this is suicidal

  60. m.... ....

    They've got such a gift at describing these complex emotions. This band has for sure changed my life for the better.

  61. F.... V....

    May not be smart but if I'm strong I know no one will ever prove me wrong!!!

  62. C.... M....

    This song rules, the beginning kicks ass.

  63. L.... B....

    This was such an amazing time ---The CrossOver period....my youth.

  64. s.... ....

    the only word i noticed in the beginning part of the lyrics was : "never no programs..." I think its, " NEVER NO PROGRESS...." But since 1988, i never could figure out what the fuck he was saying there....fully, so thanks for that. This album is one of the very few albums that i discover new sounds and other shit all the time. BEST ALBUM OF 1988!!!!

  65. s.... ....

    DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN JUST BROUGHT ME BACK WITH THIS ONE!

  66. j.... w....


    on this album and others half the songs are gr8 guitar solos. luv it... suicidal

  67. F.... V....

    Might not be smart, but if I'm strong I know no one else will ever prove me wrong!!!!!!!

  68. j.... ....

    @slitherlock They have brought me through alot of rough times in my life.

  69. i.... M....

    @ryan49er1 he is the best for suicidal heads and i think that is all he wants

  70. S.... H....

    @josh71111 for sure bro. EPIC ALBUM. this fuckin brings me back. I used to listen to this album over and over when i was a kid and this album just come out

  71. s.... ....

    ST's music is the soundtrack of my life

  72. j.... ....

    Best album in my opinion.

  73. e.... s....

    to me, only mikael aikerfeldt of opeth can even compare to Rocky and the pure emotion he puts into his leads!!! The smoothest most fluid guitarist in the world.

  74. D.... C....

    This "Record" took me from How will I laugh, to the "Feelings back", It finds you
    at the bottom and brings you back up. Pledge Your Allegiance.

  75. s.... ....

    my bro loved S.T. one mornin he didn't wake up miss you Joe.

  76. C.... S....

    @H00dN3rdz Fuckin' 12 years old? Bieber? This is a lyrical masterpiece- it has more heart and inspiration than anything produced in a long long time. I don't know anyone who couldn't relate to it at some point in their life.

  77. s.... m....

    I put this song as my senior quote \m/!

  78. B.... ....

    @H00dN3rdz The music is pure awesome and they have the guts to say what they really feel. that doesn't make em 12 years old. It makes them honest.

  79. H.... ....

    These guys need to grow the fuck up and stop talking like the're still 12 years old... shit man they make justin bieber seem cool.

  80. B.... ....

    Does anyone know if Mike Muir is religious? Thought about it when i heard "Heaven". Or maybe it's a different bandmember? Please do respond thanks.

  81. J.... ....

    real muzik

  82. 1.... ....

    @92RedRevolver just to damn brutal, and you got to love that....

  83. p.... ....

    Para mi el mejor album de Sucidal Tendencies. 10 puntos!!

  84. a.... ....

    also gotta post "The Feeling's Back". Another amazing song!!!

  85. a.... ....

    I think this might have been their best album because I have been listening to it since it came out and I can still feel the raw emotion like I did the first time I popped that tape in. It is so deep and emotion-Provoking that it seems different than other ST albums. You can't find new music like this anymore.

  86. 9.... ....

    this is blocked from being shared on facebook...why?

  87. m.... l....

    the best metal song

  88. N.... H....

    @Dockktor Metallica are fucking whiny corporate sellouts who aint shit next to ST

  89. B.... ....

    @cmoan9
    Suicidal for Life!

  90. s.... ....

  91. H.... S....

    @ryan49er1 thats a fact i`ll never understand

  92. r.... ....

    WHY IS ROCKY SUCH AN UNDER-RATED GUITARIST???

    r.... ....

    Because he is independent and not under s label. The greatest ever Rocky G

  93. s.... ....

    suicyco XD

  94. A.... C....

    I grew up seeing these guys around my neighborhood all the time. Such a killer band, and Rocky is baddest guitar player.

  95. G.... ....

    mier for president!!!

  96. R.... S....

    ST...ST... suicidal is da chit!!!!! Harder version of the chilipeppers in my opinoin!!!

  97. D.... ....

    @dpeab11370 If I ever hear anyone try to tell me that Black Album is better then KEA, I'm going to remove their ears; they obviously don't use them anyway.
