About Wake Up (Make a Move)

"Wake Up (Make a Move)" is the third single from Start Something, the second album by the Welsh rock band Lostprophets. "Wake Up (Make a Move)" was released to radio on 1 June 2004. This single was under much debate up to its release; both Lostprophets and their management wanted the dark, brooding "Make a Move" as a single, whereas the label wanted the poppier, catchier "I Don't Know". The band and their management walked away victorious and the song was released as a single with the modified title "Wake Up (Make a Move)". However, "I Don't Know" was later released for radio airplay in the U. S. and made it to #11 on Billboard's Alternative Songs chart. A music video was produced for the song and saw moderate airplay upon release.

So are we lost or do we know 
Which direction we should go 
Sit around and wait for someone 
To take our hands and lead the way 

'Cause every day we're getting older 
And every day we all get colder 
We're sick of waiting for our answers 

Wake up, wake up, wake up
Yeah so tired of waiting, waiting for us to 
Wake up, wake up, wake up
Yeah so sick of waiting, for us to make a move 

Are we meant to take the pain 
Should we sit around and wait 
Are we being saved
Or was I another lie you made to make us hate

'Cause every day we're getting older 
And every day we all get colder 
We're sick of waiting for our answers 

Wake up, wake up, wake up 
Yeah so tired of waiting, waiting for us to 
Wake up, wake up, wake up 
Yeah so sick of waiting, for us to make a move 

Wake up, wake up, wake up 
And we will never lose 
Wake up, wake up, wake up 
It's time to make a move 
Wake up, wake up, wake up 
And we will never lose 
Wake up, wake up, wake up 
It's time to make a...move! 

It's not enough 
To let it run
Where's the truth
It's all wrong 

So sick of waiting for our answers... 
Wake up, wake up, wake up 
Yeah I'm so tired of waiting, waiting for us to
Wake up, wake up, wake up 
Yeah I'm so sick of waiting, for us to make a move 

Wake up, wake up, wake up
And we will never lose
Wake up, wake up, wake up
It's time to make a move
Wake up, wake up, wake up
And we will never lose
Wake up, wake up, wake up
Make a move (move, move, move, move)
